Deadline is January 20, 2010
Clay artists and sculptors, mixed media artists and mad scientists
alike! Here is your call to join the Resin Revolution ~ we want your
artistic vision and willingness to experiment to show the world just
what is possible with the amazing properties of resin clay!
We are looking for resin clay art submissions for Kerin Gale’s
upcoming first book published by North Light Books.
There Are Two Ways To Be Published
This Call is a bit different than others you may have seen. There are actually two
ways to get into the book. One is to submit up to three pieces of your work
(with up to three images of each project). The other way is to tell us how using
resin clay has helped your progress in your artistic vision ~ basically a
testimonial. Any artist has the potential to be included one, two or three times for artwork and once for a testimonial.
Here is what you’ll need to know to enter your submission(s):
About Art Entries
Anything goes really! Your piece(s) can make use of the adhesive properties of
resin clay to hold other elements together, as actual elements or the entire piece
can be made of clay. The only real requirement is that some part of your entry
includes resin clay. Your piece can be jewelry or other wearable art, or can be
decorative or functional. Unique and well executed pieces are especially sought
after.
Remember that submitting high-quality images with as much detail as possible is very important. The background should be plain so as to show your work in the best light with no distractions.
You may submit up to three entries with up to 3 shots of each piece. Submit only
images with good contrast and detail. Photos need to be at least 5” x 7” at 300
DPI and in a .tif or .jpg file format. File names should be your name and the
title of your piece, such as kerin-gale_cold-hearted1.jpg, kerin-gale_coldhearted2.
jpg, etc. Please also include in your email:
• Your name as you would wish it to be displayed, if accepted
• URL(s) of your website(s) or blog if you have one
• Title of your piece(s) or specify “Untitled” if applicable
• Dimensions (height x width x depth) and unit of measure (inches or feet)
• A short description of what you made and anything we should take note of.
About Testimonial Entries
Please keep the length of the testimonial entries at around 250 words or less.
Also include in your email:
• Your name as you would wish it to be displayed, if accepted
• URL(s) of your website(s) or blog (if you have one)
The “testimonial” entries will be included throughout the book along with your
name and web site (or alternatively an email address if you do not have an online
presence).
Submitting Entries
• All submissions will be accepted via email only. Send your individual
entry or entries to [email protected]
• Because we may accept all or none of your entries please send a
separate email for each entry (up to four ~ three for your art work
images and one for a testimonial)
• There is no entry fee required for your submission(s)
PLEASE NOTE: If your entry is accepted, you will be notified by February
10, 2010. If accepted, you will be required to complete and sign a
“Permission to Publish” form.
Questions ~
Due to the anticipated response for this publication, entries with questions will be addressed only as time permits. It is strongly suggested that you read and
