I took copius notes during each keynote, seminar and ‘big room’ event at the Synergy conference. However, when Cynthia Tinapple took the stage to deliver the keynote address for the closing night banquet, my notebook remained closed.
While Tinapple is most comfortable behind the scenes shining a spotlight on other polymer clay artists, it quickly became evident that she is equally adept at coming out from ‘behind the curtain’ and mesmerizing a crowd with her humor, quiet intellect and understated elegance.
Cynthia Tinapple, Synergy Conference Keynote Speaker
As the author of Polymer Clay Daily, she keeps us well informed regarding our beloved medium. Tinapple’s twenty years of experience working with polymer clay and building relationships with artists who pioneered the medium came together seamlessly as she led us through her reflections on what has come before and projections regarding the possibilities she sees for the future.
Perhaps with some gentle prodding she will share her observations with those who could not attend the conference – her notes are well worth having. Brava Cynthia, the standing ovation was well deserved.
Many thanks to Alison Lee for the photograph.

Yes. Perfectly stated. Perfectly.
I attended the Synergy Conference, and it was a pleasure to watch – and hear – Cynthia’s presentation.
I’ve spent the day regaining my back-home energies, but had to check in on-line and see what other attendees were saying.
Thanks for the news and views and for your enthusiasm, Susan.
Susan – Aw shucks, Susan. Thanks for the kind words and for all your help (how do you do that research).
It was good to meet you and so many other new faces who represent the future of our craft. Good things lie ahead.
Cynthia
