“The rabbit hole is deep,” Florida’s Lynn Yuhr cautions as she prepares her class samples for the Bead and Button show.
You may have seen Lynn’s intro video that we snapped for StudioMojo last year. She demos the basics here.
Since then Lynn has fallen down the rabbit hole as she expands her skills for her Getting Wabi Sabi with Liquid Clay class.
Very loose. Very retro. Very cool.
For the last few days of the year, PCD will feature some favorite interviews and tutorials from 2019 editions of StudioMojo, the weekly insiders wrap up.
When I spot an interesting work in progress I often ask, “What are you doing?” If the artist agrees, I take out my phone and lean over for a short and sweet look as in this demo from Florida’s Lynn Yuhr.
Lynn sparks all kinds of ideas for using liquid clay in this 2019 quickie.
This pile of brooches from Florida’s Lynn Yuhr (theflyingsquirrelstudio) exudes a mid-century sensibility. They look like tv sets from the 50s.
Lynn has been exploring and pushing the boundaries of using colored liquid clays on polymer.
I watched Lynn in action and persuaded her to share a few of her discoveries on this week’s StudioMojo. You’ll be surprised at how she uses the liquids and what she’s found about how they behave on raw clay.
See why she keeps a “puddle” on her worksurface and how she dips into that puddle for surprising effects.
Slovenia’s Tina Mezek makes Circle Pins that pop with playful loops of wire and polymer accents. Tina trained as jeweler and now she mixes her media with ease.
She carves a design, then stamps, colors and uses liquid clay liberally. Her lopsided accents give her pins an extra springtime flair.
Turns out, Tina teaches the methods for making these pins on CraftArtEdu. See more of her work on Pinterest, Flickr and Facebook. You won’t want to miss her angels!
