A few weeks ago in Barcelona, while Lucy and Sara Amrhein were teaching their classes, a deeper conversation kept coming up throughout the event. Sara had recently gone through a big transition, closing her store in the heart of Florence, and navigating the many challenges that came with it over the past months. At the end, they sat down together to record a short interview. Sara opened up about her journey, what it truly meant to run a physical store and sell jewellery in pe

Natural materials often draw our attention through their depth, variation, and subtle imperfections. For Bea Fenyvesi, this sensitivity to material is closely tied to her broader creative practice. Originally from Hungary and now based in Austria, she works part-time in a museum while developing her own polymer clay work, where she often focuses on floral forms and nature-inspired details. Her approach is rooted in making, whether through jewellery, baking, or gardening, an

With a few grey and rainy days here in Europe, we decided to bring in a bit of sunshine by introducing Kate Lee Foley , an Australian artist whose work is full of colour, light, and playful energy.

Plants are captivating in their structure, rhythm, patterns, and the way they bring life into a space. In this tutorial, Eduardo Farillo explores this idea through polymer clay, creating a decorative pot paired with a Calathea Makoyana plant, known for its striking patterns and layered foliage. Follow his tutorial and learn how to shape a small pot and build a plant composition using canes, color layering, and surface techniques. The process invites you to observe natural pa

In March, we invited our members to explore the unexplored. Which mediums and materials can be combined with polymer clay that we haven’t tried yet? What happens when clay meets other substances? These were the questions that opened up this challenge. Through experimenting, testing, making samples, and observing unexpected reactions, many participants discovered new techniques and directions. It became a truly enjoyable and inspiring journey. Enjoy the recording of our member

Artificial intelligence is entering many areas of our lives. While some may fear it, others are building alongside it or exploring where it might lead us. Anna Dubinsky has been in a long dialogue with AI, using it as part of her creative process and opening new ways of thinking. Today in the Society, we are sharing her honest article about the whole honest experience — from unexpected discoveries to moments of frustration, limitations, and possibilities, and the collaboratio

“Without my two cups of black tea with milk, I simply can’t begin the day,” says Austrian artist and educator, Astrid Young . Teaching for over three decades at the University of Art in Linz, Astrid is among the few bringing polymer clay into the academic field, introducing it to her students, the future art educators, and quietly challenging its place among traditional materials.
