Clayathon 2019 Save the Date  

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have moved Clayathon 2019 from our normal dates in February.

The New Dates are April 4th to April 10th. Mark those dates on your calendar and stay tuned for registration info once it’s available

Thanks for taking a little time to catch up with us. If you have an article or any upcoming events of interest to the Guild, polymer clay gossip etc. etc. Please contact Sherman Oberson.  I will happily spread the news.

The holidays over and the dark frigid days of January have descended and parked themselves at our doors for a few bitterly cold weeks.

But behind the facade of ice, snow, and despair, Arlene Groch and her Polymer Army are working like nervous beavers to make Clayathon 2018 a reality.

If winter’s here, can Clayathon be far behind? (Apologies to all the usual suspects.) 

Here are some pictures to tide you over.

The bad news-we will not be having our previously-scheduled November 19th meeting.  This is a busy time of year for most of us and our plans for a demo and a meeting simply fell apart.  We are always looking for people to volunteer to organize meetings and to demo.  If you are interested, please leave a comment and maybe we can pull off a meeting in January

The good news is that the newest issue of The Polymer Arts  came out today and look whose work is on the cover: Emily Squires Levine !  And I had the good fortune to interview Emily (who lives within walking distance of my house) and write the article. If you can’t wait for your printed copy, you can order a digital issue here.

There are a lot of things of interest happening in November.

Terri Powell (ArtSci Designs ) is showing at the Dominion Hills Fall Craft Show, Arlington, VA on November 4.   For more information, press here.

Into The Forest opens in Pittsburgh on November 10.  For more information press here.

The regularly scheduled guild meeting is November 15.  The Demo artist informed us she is not available until January.  Does anyone have any ideas?
