One of my favourite Mother’s Day gifts are the little (well, not little anymore) succulents my daughter has bought me over the years. I have a moderate green thumb so they’ve mostly continued on and outgrown their first cute little pots which were ceramic versions of these polymer clay pots. This tutorial, by Angie Holden for Crafts Unleashed, has a few cute pot ideas using either marbling or texture.

The sort of slab build that Angie uses makes a useful structure simply. If you want a neater shape, make your mini pot over the end of a paper towel tube or narrow, empty jar. Bake it all in the oven and pop it off the former after you take it out of the oven.

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.
