Aussiepolyclayers Forum A great polymer clay forum for Aussie clayers. Free membership. I took over managing this wonderful group from Heather Richmond (see link below) in 2007. I try and make sure your questions are answered if nobody else chimes in…but more often than not, there’s ten other good opinions alongside mine. They’re such a helpful fun-loving creative bunch of people; you’ll feel right at home there. Contemporary Clay Instructors Program Become an instructor through this unique program, which specializes in teaching you the art of three relatively new clays on the market…Makins Air Dry clay, Premo polymer clay and PMC (precious metal clay). Some fabulous artists and teachers involved in this program, definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in a creative income teaching what you love. I am proud to be part of this program and available to hold workshops and retreats (i.e. clay, bed and breakfast) in gorgeous Mullumbimby, NSW. I will also travel for those who can’t tear themselves away from home. Pam Annesley: Textile art, jewellery and book art Pam Annesley is a wiz at all things she turns a hand to. I love what she does with fibres and polymer. She teaches workshops in various mediums and is the WA senior instructor for the Contemporary Clay Instructors Program. Metal Clay Australasia Jen Tattam is the originator of the Contemporary Clay Instructor Program and a Senior Instructor for PMC. Jen's background was originally in ceramics but she too was lured by the bling of metal clay and is a truly amazing artist. She also has the largest online clay shop in Australia...carries a HUGE variety of polymer and metal clays and tools…definitely worth a look! I’ve found Jen to be very helpful with queries and her mail order service is fabulously fast and efficient. Original Art Dolls Lex Sorrentino is an award-winning sculptor, specializing in art dolls and garden sculptures and we’re fortunate to have her on the team of Senior Instructors for the Contemporary Clay Instructors Program. Lara Le Reveur Lara is a wonderful teacher and sculptor and is a senior instructor for the Contemporary Clay Instructors program in Melbourne. Over the Rainbow Heather Richmond has a fabulous online store for all your clay goodies…sent to you fast and with a smile. I’ve watched her pack those parcels! She’s an amazing artist (very quiet about it mind you!) specialising in millefiori and teaches in Melbourne. Heather started Aussiepolyclayers, a great online polymer clay group (see above) and continues to support and advise clayers all over Australia. Hector Vera Designs A wonderful polymer clay artist from Bellingen. Hector has an online shop and exhibits in Sydney and Bellingen on a regular basis. Beading Forum Anything you want to know about beading…has a very helpful and friendly clay forum. Polymer Clay Central USA based polymer clay group, very helpful and informative. I owe this crew a great deal as they nurtured me through newbie stages. BLue Banksia A really wonderful resource for art practitioners that lists art workshops across Australia and includes a calendar of events around country. Beading Forum: A busy forum for beaders and jewellery makers in Australia. |
