The nice folks at Sculpey.com and Britta Lautenschlager have this robot project. It says it’s geared towards the kids but I think it would be fabulous for any of us clayers. The tutorial uses original and terracotta Sculpey clays but I’d probably just do it with my stash of Premo metallics.

As with many projects this one would be fun to add your own touches to: little wire or metal bits to add robotic charm. A little clay tie, maybe, and make it into a Father’s Day gift?

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.
