Description

The Skinner Blend is without a doubt one of polymer clay's most celebrated innovations, forever evolving how we merge colour in our medium. But while this technique has profoundly changed the way we work, in the decade since it was introduced, the Skinner Blend itself has changed very little.

Always curious and compelled to find a new angle for his work, Canadian artist Dan Cormier has spent the past couple of years as a "blender," using Judith Skinner's elegant discovery as a springboard for new exploration and experimentation. What's he discovered? For all it's given us already, this technique still has some secrets to reveal...

Join Dan and collaborator Tracy Holmes for a retrospective tribute to one of the most important techniques we know. Then, take a trip "Beyond the Blend" and learn how this creative partnership is turning a single idea into a whole new realm of possibilities.
