Tutorial: Spiral Beads

September 8, 2013 by Elaine Robitaille

162

These neat graphic beads are from a Czech magazine but the tutorial is all in super clear step by step photos. The artist makes the simple design work by using great colour choices that don’t detract from the graphic design.

    You can use the Google translator for Czech to English but the last few steps, I’m assuming are:

    – make some bead bases. She’s using a Marxit to mark off against a clay log but a ruler works the same or some other tool. She’s making graduated bead bases.

    – Cut slices from the cane and apply to your base bead. Roll smooth and either pierce and bake or bake then drill.

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.
