Tutorial: Mother’s Day Necklace

My mom is a jewellery lover so I make a lot of pieces for her. Some of those have been items with mementos or other qualities that made them special. Amy chose to use clay to make her mom a necklace with a sand dollar and a monogram. The freehanded the sand dollar from pearl coloured clay and then assembled the gift necklace.

You can use your clay to make a charm or component that is perfect for your mom. In my mom’s case I could pick her favourite flower or maybe a raven for one of her favourite poems. Maybe your mom loves books or the perfect cup of tea and a whimsical charm of those would be just right.

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.
