Amy of This Heart of Mine sent me the link to her image transfer tutorial. As far as image transfers go, this one is basic. The approach, however, is both sweet and perfect. She uses a simple contact transfer (what we call the silly putty transfer in my house) to make little fridge magnets with her children’s doodles. The resulting clay transfers are trimmed, baked, outline or embellished a little and magnets added.

If your fridge is like mine, you have SCADS of doodles and magnets and notes and photos. And the primary doodler in my house is in her second year of high school. I wonder if she’ll let me turn her pictures into fridge magnets…

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.
