NOTE
THE DATE: Due to a scheduling conflict
at the library, we are meeting the SECOND Saturday instead of the THIRD
Saturday this month. I’m sending this
notice out earlier than usual both because of the earlier meeting date and the
fact that some of these items will need to be ordered online since our local
stores don’t carry them.
The
March meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on
Saturday, March 14th, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Pearl Library,
Pearl, Mississippi. This meeting will focus
on different uses for liquid polymer clay.
Joyce will demo a string pulling technique that mimics an acrylic paint
pouring technique and we will be looking at other ways to use the liquid clays
in our polymer clay work. If you have
discovered something fun to do with liquid polymer clay, come share it with
us. Joyce will also show us a fun
technique using scrap clay so bring your cane ends, your skinner blend scraps,
etc.
