Polymer Clay Podcast # 76 – the men of clay part 2

// October 17th, 2008 // No Comments » // Podcasts

This week, we’ll talk about two more men we met in Baltimore this past February- one at Synergy, and the other at the ACC show. Two very different styles which you’ll see next week on polymer clay tv.

We also talk about Kalmbach’s new book, Bead Journey: Jewelry from around the world. We loved this book, and there are lots of ethnic-style ideas that could be easily translated into polymer clay beads, especially for the large gemstone and wood beads featured.

Polymer Clay Podcast # 74 – Halloween jewelry with skulls and magic transfer paper

// October 2nd, 2008 // No Comments » // Podcasts

We decided to do something a little different this year for Halloween. There are many tutorials online about how to make things like pumpkin canes and ghost beads..so we thought some skull imagery would be fun. We used Magic Transfer paper and Ken’s mortality images from Craftedonline.com, and created some fun earrings and necklaces! Check out our different styles next week on polymer clay TV, the free demo, and also at www.polymerclayclassroom.com, where you can download complete projects from start to finish.

We also have some news about the Jaquard new G-clay series, which has been stopped in favor of just adding the planned g-clay to the Cernit line (we think.) Stay tuned, we will be getting an update from Jaquard representatives soon.

And, don’t forget to link to us and let us know- you’ll be entered to win prizes from our Holiday Gift Guide.

Polymer Clay Podcast # 72 – some of the men of Polymer clay

// September 18th, 2008 // No Comments » // Podcasts

There are several men involved in polyclay these days, and we happen to have interviews with them from Synergy in Feb ‘08. Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, Mike Devine, and Grant Diffendaffer are three that you’ll meet next week (possibly a fourth if the footage fits! or, we’ll show his work another time…)

There are other men involved with the clay, for example you can see an interview with Tommy H. in our video archives, and hear Seth Lee Saverick in a discussion about Synergy late last year. Just search them on our site to find the info.

Don’t forget- please vote for our biz, and check out the Books and Stuff page for a link to Grant’s book- check out how he treats clay almost as if it were metal or wood and carves it with mechanical tools.

See you next week at PCTV!
