Tutorial: Spring Flowers

by

spring-flower

I’m on a flower kick, I confess! This week is all about the spring and the flowers that are slowly climbing out of the soil where I live. If you live in warmer climes, you’ve had all the pretty growing bits for a while and for those of you on the flip side, you’re probably just finishing up with all the flowers.

Katie has a tutorial based on an older tutorial on her blog that makes a great, pastel flower with embellishments. She uses hers to make a brooch but the design would work well for a pendant or hair pin as well.

Check out this book on how to make polymer clay flowers.

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.
