I had heard about these pieces from friends and family who have seen the show. How wonderful to see it (virtually). I wish I could make it up to NY to see it in the flesh. Thanks so much!

Yellow Pod is my favorite; absolutely exquisite. It has a rich tonal drama of light and dark. The formal structure is offset by the dreamy softness and intimacy of the shapes and textures. – Marlene

Oh, you are a muse. I’ve been thinking about expanding more from jewelry to large object. But this morning’s post inspired me to take the designs that are swirling in my head and explore making them as brooches. It always seems to come back to adornment for some of us. Thanks so much, Susan.

Wonderful work! I’m not getting fragile though. It’s been my experience that women are tough, strong and resourceful. Most women I know have been able to create and preserve beauty in their lives, despite the harsh realities of living… That is what I am seeing here, well done!

Comment on synergy 2, part 1: in pursuit of excellence – the evolution of a medium by Sabine Spiesser

Thank you for giving those of us at the other end of the world a glimpse at the wondeful people who make this art medium so interesting.
I’m not in favour of masterclasses system Gloria Askin refers to. I would love to see individuals push themselves to new levels without the lure of certificates, discounts or having to please a narrow audience of judges. This is one medium, where we have so much freedom of expression, without the burden of history (not that history cannot be of vital importance). We should be free from manufacturer controlled masterclass systems to be able to expand our artistic horizon without fear.

Thank you Susan for your thoughtful recap of the synergy2 conference. You did a great job capturing the tone and direction many are proposing for the medium. Let’s continue the discussion. I will look for Paul Stankard’s book. Sounds like it is well worth reading.

I have enjoyed reading your posts about Synergy 2 Susan. Although I don’t work in polymer clay myself, I am always inspired by the top practitioners in that field. Thank you for showing us (daily:)) what great things are possible in all areas of contemporary crafts.
