April

The April meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, April 21, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi.  As you know we have our Spring Workshop with Judy Belcher coming up in May. As we have in the past, we'll be using the April meeting to prepare items to go in the goodies bags that each participant will receive. We would love for every guild member to participate in the goodie bags since this is a representation of our guild. If you want to participate but haven't decided what you want to make, I've listed a few items below – courtesy of Joyce – that you might want to make.

Another thing to think about – using this same list – we will need to submit photos along with our application for Holly days in December. Everybody who wants to contribute to the Holly Days booth should bring an item to be photographed. This does not mean that this is the only thing that you can make for Holly Days – we just have to get our application in and approved before we can participate. Joyce will bring her camera and take pictures for the application.
