I’ve long been a fan of Heather Powers – she was the editor for this blog a while back – because she makes great beads from clay and has a pretty steady and darn good online presence. She’s also released a pile of good clay tutorials to the internet at large including this great Merry Little Owl Ornament. The owl makes a really great pendant or bookmark bead for a gift item.

Heather has a site with links to good stuff on it and an Etsy shop with good stuff in it. She also heads up and writes for the Art Bead Scene which often has fabulous clay beads on it.

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.
