I realize the official first day was 2 weeks ago or so but the first big show of my fall season was this weekend and the mornings were particularly chilly – almost frosty! The rest of the polymer clay world is doing their usual amazing things, either pulling on sweaters in the face of the season or enjoying the first starts of spring:

EuroSynergy runs April 30 thru May 3 2014 in Malta. There are pre-conference workshops to sign up for as well
PCC’s Monthly challenge has an autumn or Halloween theme. Polymer Clay Express is supplying the prize!
The Art Bead Scene has a monthly challenge and the inspiration art has an owl on it. Owls and clay are natural matches, I swear!
People are making their autumn and Halloween collections – like fizzyclarets doll house scene pieces.

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.
