GAPCG 20th Anniversary
Saturday, September 8, 2018 - 9am - 5pm Once upon a time, before email, texting, or Facebook, there was Instant Messaging [IM]. Ellen Rosenberg sent an IM to the National Polymer Clay Guild asking if there was a Guild in Atlanta. They said there wasn’t one, but that she could start one. Ellen went online and sent IMs out to groups of polymer clay artists she knew asking- who lived in the Atlanta area and who would be interested in creating a guild. Carolyn Schallmo replied, and said she knew of a few people in the Atlanta area who might be interested. Carolyn set up the first guild meeting and six women attended that the original meeting: Carolyn Schallmo, Ellen Rosenberg, Bernice Tuttle, Susan Woodhall, Nancy Thompson, and Julie Binney. Carolyn led a demo of a simple jellyroll cane, and also a bulls-eye cane at that first meeting. There was a lot of excitement, because…. Don’t miss the rest of this story of ‘how the GAPCG came about and grew to a 50-member Guild that it is today’; a Guild that shares so many ideas, techniques, clay, and more importantly -good times together. Mark your calendars and join the Celebration of GAPCG 20-Year Anniversary on Saturday, September 8. from 9am to 5pm at our regular meeting place, First Baptist Church Avondale Estates Family Center. See you there and get the rest of the story! Program: This will be a full day of claying with fellow GAPCG members. We will have one demo by Melinda Phelps, “Transfers”. This will be a pot-luck event. Paper items will be provided by the Guild. Supplies & Tools:
