Tutorial: Mixed Media Coffee Bean Necklace

I consider coffee one of my daily rituals so coffee themed jewellery works for me. And in the craft jewellery world, personalized jewellery or pieces with quotes and inspirational words have been insanely popular for a few years. This mixed media piece by Amy Latta uses a little of each: a polymer clay coffee bean and cute, popular stamped metal pieces.

You could do your own version along whatever theme you prefer – or would like to give away: a favourite flower bead along with the recipients name or the flowers latin name, a favoured candy, a seasonal decoration and seasons greetings.

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.
