March Meeting Notes & Supply List


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. 



CLAY SUPPLIES:

1 block of white clay

Sculpey Liquid Clay in White (or Pearl), Red, Blue, Yellow and Clear

Sculpey clay softener

Scrap clay – don’t mix together – bring bits and pieces of different colors, cane ends, skinner blend scraps, etc.



ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES:

Usual clay supplies including pasta machine, work surface and good cutting blade

A length of thread or thin/fine string, about 8 inches

Bar pin or necklace bail or other component

Lisa Pavelka Magic-Glos

Painters or masking tape

Small over-safe flat bottomed item like a votive cup

Small cups and spatulas for mixing

NOTE:  To get ahead of the game, you may want to bake some pendant or other jewelry shapes out of the white polymer clay.  To see sample shapes, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D9FqDliQ6I
