Polymer Clay Podcast # 60 - silkscreening your clay, and What’s a Podcast?

Posted by Kira on 26 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: , Podcasts

Please stop by our Important Survey page to take our demographics survey. We would really like to know who our listeners are, and so would our podcast sponsors. Ilysa is going to CHA next month, and is planning on talking to the companies that would be interested in our show, and they will want to know the info we are asking. It will really help us and will take less than a minute of your time. Thanks!

This week, Ilysa talks about how wonderful it is to use tiny silkscreens to transfer patterns onto your clay. We also discuss the internet topics, What is a podcast, and What is an RSS feed? It appears that some of our audience aren’t totally familiar with the terms. A Podcast is basically a privately run radio show (videocast or vodcast being the privately run TV show) and an RSS feed is a way to search blogs and sites for a specific topic, and have updates delivered to you via a “feed” that comes through a feed site, or your email. It’s a quick and easy way to get updated information from your favorite sites on your favorite topics, without having to visit 50 websites every day to check for updates manually.

Polymer Clay Podcast This Friday Silkscreening On Polymer Clay PCAGOE Featured Member

Posted by Ilysa on 24 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: ,

On this weeks Polymer Clay Podcast the topic will be silkscreening on polymer clay and next week on Polymer Clay TV you will get to see the demo. I have fallen in love with this technique and keep trying new things and designs. There is a product on the market where you can create your own stencils, we have plans to do so but it just has not happened yet. One of these days. This is an easy technique and does not involve many supplies. All you need is some acrylic paint, a silkscreen stencil and something to pull the paint across the stencil, like a credit card. Here are a few photos of some of the designs I have made. Enjoy!
