Making custom ornaments for your tree is a great way to make the perfect gift for a friend or family member or to make yourself something to commemorate the holiday. Using a snippet of pine tree for texture and stamps or other marking tool to inscribe a date or names or other details you can whip up a batch of simple ornaments. This sort of ornament doubles as a great gift tag as well. You can add a little paint, powders or other surface decorate to highlight the textures before or after curing in the oven.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer
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.

I don’t believe the link is working.

Small adjustment to the code! Thanks for the heads up Karen I appreciate it!

Could you use clay with a die cutting machine like Sizziz?
Elaine Robitaille says
You can use it on some of them like Silhouette’s Cameo or Portrait cutters. There’s a tutorial on Sculpey about how the artist does it and I imagine the technique could be adapted to other die cut machines.
