If you’re looking for a good way to start your polymer clay year I highly recommend Katie’s Polymer Clay Challenge. I didn’t participate last year – I should have! – but have in the past a few times and, honestly, there’s nothing quite like a weekly due date to keep you making stuff. There’s no level requirement so you get everyone from new to quite experienced and you can watch people progress throughout the year and cheer on the whole group. Katie has done a fabulous job running the Facebook group where it’s hosted and, if you participate, you end up with a nice body of clay work in a year.

Give it a shot or check out what’s going on in the group.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

Contemporary Craft is thrilled to be hosting POP! – Perspectives on Polymer June 25-29, 2022. A five-day celebration of contemporary work in polymer, the event will have something for everyone who loves polymer clay. POP! will feature four workshops along with virtual talks by some of the best polymer artists in the country, an exhibition of small works in polymer, and a curated feature in the Store. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 25, 6-8 PM, and will be free and open to the public.

POP!’s focus on workshops and the materiality of polymer makes this boutique event more than just a conference. Each participating artist was selected for their unique perspectives on polymer and the exciting ways they are moving the medium forward. The featured instructor for the event is Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, whose pioneering techniques in polymer have made him one of the most respected artists in the field. His jewelry and sculptural objects have been shown in many national invitational exhibitions, and his works are represented in numerous private collections, galleries and museums.
