Why Do You Clay?

by

I got into clay to make beads for my jewellery making hobby. And I made a ton of beads. Zedster66 tried out clay then moved onto felting… until she had a need for fabulous buttons.

One of the qualities I still like the best about clay is the way it combines so well with other creative endeavours – like custom beads or buttons.

  1. Thanks a lot for featuring our blog. Although it’s mainly felt and fibre related, we do love all sorts of different arts and crafts and especially combining them with felt, which Polymer clay is perfect for 🙂

  3. I got into polymer clay because I needed some miniature food for my dollhouse. Lots of beautiful stuff exists but I couldn’t afford it at the time. Yet when I saw the cheap plastic stuff I thought I could probably make better miniature food myself. And polymer clay let me discover that yes, I could!

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.
