Have you found in this or previous Polymer Week Magazine an inspiration for your own creation? If yes, send a photo of your piece which you have made according to the magazine’s tutorials and we will be glad to reward you! Please send the photos of your creations to the email: magazine@polymerweek.com with a short text about yourself. We look forward to hearing from you!
With a new batch of tutorials and articles that we have prepared for you in this spring issue of the magazine together with the authors, you will not know what to choose first. This issue is closing our publishing year. It has been a year since the idea to publish a magazine occurred during the organization of the Polymer Week event in Pilsen. A year ago, we met together with more than a hundred enthusiasts who had fallen in love with polymer clay. Some of them were not afraid to travel half the world to be part of this polymer clay event. The first issue of the magazine, which was supposed to be just a gift for the participants of the event, suddenly transformed into a separate project and is making people happy literally all over the world. And I cannot fully believe it, still... We love to introduce new artists, as well as famous faces. To bring new ideas, tutorials and inspiration to keep us all moving forward. And most of all, we love to connect people. All the clayers in the world with a common passion. Polymer Week 2018 is around the corner, it will start again in Pilsen in a few months and you are all invited! Together, we will enjoy a wonderful creative atmosphere with international participation, and for a moment we will connect with our big and small polymer world in which everybody has a place.
