Therese Lyons shares a pretty two tone necklace (or two of them actually!) tutorial with us. The styling is simple but the savvy mixing of colours creates a more interesting look. The best part about making the beads for your own necklaces like this is you can decide where the hole placements would most benefit the design. For the first necklace, with the greens, the holes lend themselves to a longer, hanging necklace. The second necklace with the more centered placement works better for a necklace at choker or just below length so that the beads hang in an arc against the neck.

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.
