About the Summit
The Polymer Art Summit is designed to extend the practice and understanding of a specific art topic as it relates to polymer clay. The Summit is a live online immersion into a particular technique, art form or theme, taught by the most innovative artists in the field.
During each event, students directly interact with renowned teachers chosen for their mastery of diverse approaches to the subject, as well as with their peers in real time.
2025 marks our fifth and final event.
Registration opens 1 May 2025.
