Bonnie BishoffPolymer clay as art medium : A 30 year exploration in pattern, color and form.
What is often considered a craft medium for children is actually a veritable paintbox for artists and craftspeople that can be used along with other mediums and skill sets for remarkable effects. Bonnie Bishoff will share a visual slice of her 30 year collaboration with her partner J.M. Syron in the use of polymer in furniture, lighting, wall art and jewelry. Follow their use of polymer as intense surface design, illuminated vessels, and lightweight and highly detailed surface for wire armatures in jewelry and wall art. Bonnie will show a range of their portfolio and explain basic techniques that they developed over the many years of making art with Polymer. |
