Tutorial: Tiny Clay Succulent Plants

May 14, 2016 by Elaine Robitaille

As I’m finishing the window in my physical shop with little succulents – many in clay pots – I’m looking at a few spots in the shop which would benefit from cute succulents but are a pain to reach or get no sun. So… faux succulent ideas.

This tutorial is for miniature succulents but I am betting the idea works just as well with larger cutters (and thicker sheets of clay).

eta: About 2 minutes after I posted this, I went over to my clay bench and made a couple. I tucked them onto little white “pots” made from white covered scrap clay.

Hey Kacy! Thanks for the heads up! Since I can’t find it anywhere else, I’m going to see if the original tutorial maker will mind if I do a version and post it up since it was adorable. I’ll get that done up this week.

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.
