WE REGRET THAT THE MEETING THIS SUNDAY 3/22/20 HAS BEEN CANCELLED by Board vote per recommendations for Social Distancing to avoid the spread of the Corona Virus.

​I know many of us are disappointed & were looking forward to our gathering & this demo topic. We will post more later about when this demo will be available.

Please all stay safe and well, and take some time to play in the clay at home and post your creations for us all to enjoy. ~ Connie Clark, President. 
March Meeting
Mar 22 – 2-5pm

Program: Animal Print Canes and Veneers
​Leader: Donna Coles

This demonstration will include two methods to create a zebra print and a tiger print. One method will focus on creating an easy to assemble cane. The other will demonstrate how to make a veneer. A brief review of creating a Skinner blend will be included as part of making the tiger print cane.

The clay colors we will use include lots of black for stripes, white, and your preferred shades of brown and orange or the contrasting colors of your choice.

Thank both Makin's and Lucy Clay Tools for their generous donations that were utilized as prize drawings for many fortunate winners at our Members Appreciation Day event, February 22, 2020.

These vendors are the companies that supply the tools that make so many unique and beautiful techniques possible for both the novice and experienced polymer artist.

Donations- silverware & paper products to guild meetings. [update]

Donations of silverware and paper products – Members were reminded that we are trying to go green and are collecting used silverware to use instead of plastic at meetings with food. Bring in your odds and ends (no need to match) and give to Susan Lightcap. Susan volunteered to keep the silverware, bring back to functions that have food and then take home to wash and store. We now have 24 forks, 40 spoons, and 43 knives. WE STILL NEED MORE FORKS! We are also accepting donations of paper products (plates, cups, napkins) if you have any to spare. Money saved will allow us to spend more on demo supplies for members to use. Yippee!
