Tutorial: Using Clay in Dimensional Art

Kristi of Addicted2Decorating used a little polymer clay and a weathered piece of wood to make a piece of art. She crafted white flowers for her work. In the tutorial she talks about using spray paint and hot glue and that worries me a little (having had product issues with clay and sprays and clay and hot glue) but there are alternatives to those so the idea still works! I like the idea of a repeated element, en masse, on an attractive but simple backdrop.

And the DIY wood and wall art bits were downright useful – not the stuff I know a darn thing about.

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.
