Bead Expo Phoenix, May 2-4, hosted by the publishers of Jewelry Artist magazine, includes classes and workshops along with their famed Bead Bazaar where you can shop for tools, beads, handcrafted jewelry and components and more. See www.beadexpo.com for more info.
Meredith Arnold is teaching her beginner polymer program
"Exploring Polymer Clay" designed to take anyone to
intermediate/advanced skill levels quickly. Students have the option of
making their own tools, components provided, or jewelry items in class
using the variety of techniques demonstrated. Other classes she's
teaching are complementary to polymer clay jewelry and include making
silk beads (luscious!) and simply braided cords, an introduction to
Kumihimo, the ancient art of cord braiding in Japan.
Other polymer instructors include Janet Farris and KLEW.

The Crafts Report is a business
resource magazine for artists and retailers of fine craft and art. The
focus for July 2008's Insight Section is POLYMER CLAY ART, and the
magazine is searching for polymer artists to feature.
For those not aware, Insight highlights artists' ideas for marketing
their products/business and the successes they have achieved in doing
so. It allows artists to share their business insights with fellow
craftspeople of the same genre. This is a short essay and photo
submission, not an advertisement. As such, there is no cost to
participate. This is simply a way for artists to share marketing ideas,
success stories and business tips with other craftspeople and artists
while publicizing their own work.
In order to participate in Insight, artists must submit a high quality
image of their work -300 dpi and over 4x4 inches in size- along with a
100-word essay sharing where they find the best markets for their
work. A physical location (city and state or province), phone number
and email address must be included as well.
In addition, The Crafts Report
is looking for photos of polymer clay artists at work for the magazine
cover photo. Cover images must be 300 dpi and at least 8 ½ inches by 10
inches in physical size.
Deadline: FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008
Please email all photos and the Insight entry to

Coming soon, live online video classes by a wide variety of artists in a wide variety of mediums, including many on polymer clay. We will be having classes with many of your favorite polymer clay artists and we hope you will join us.
Have you ever wanted to take a class from a teacher but you weren't able to attend because of the travel and all the expenses involved? Now you can take a class from the privacy of your own home and have access to the teacher from anywhere in the world.
These live online video classes will allow you and others around the world to follow along with the teacher and ask questions. It will be interactive and lots of fun as there will be a community to share with. All the classes will be recorded for those who can not attend the live class and still want to learn.
How many times have you left a class and could not remember every step you learned? When you take a class with Crafted Online you will receive the video of the class to refer back to so you can continue to be successful with the technique or project.
We are currently recruiting teachers who want to experience a fun new way of sharing their expertise without leaving their home or studio and without incurring expenses.
If you are interested in teaching with us please fill out the form at http://www.craftedonline.com
