Tutorial: Making Polymer Clay Eyes

August 15, 2012 by Elaine Robitaille

Here’s a fairly simple but nicely realistic tutorial for making clay eyes. These eyes can be added to figurines and other characters. Pop some clay eyes on anything and it suddenly comes alive. These clay eyes are realistic and full of depth.

I figure a bunch of these would be fabulous for some Halloween foolery. Heck, who am I kidding, they’d be lovely to use for pranks here…

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.
