Today I had the lucky chance to hook a new polymer clayer. She asked me how she could make houses. Since I am, mostly, a bead maker and a caner I pulled out my list of links to look at and we ended up at this great tutorial from A Subtle Revelry.

I say great because this is pretty much a jump right in tutorial. Open the package of magic polymer clay, separate into the individual bricks and trim a little. Tuck string in and bake. If you’ve got a little more claying experience under your belt then definitely texture, decorate and add to the project but this is a cute little piece even without.

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.
