The January meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, January 19, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi. The theme of our meeting is Alcohol Inks. We will be learning three different techniques using alcohol inks in combination with gold foil and polymer clay – Ancient Metals, Watercolor Mokume Gane and Faux Batik. This will be a fun meeting and will give you some new surface techniques to add to your bag of tricks. Because the alcohol inks have to dry for each of these techniques, we will need to get started as soon after 10:00 as possible.
Just as a reminder, be sure to
dress in layers. We have no control over the temperature in the room
where we meet and sometimes it is hot, sometimes cold. Best to be
prepared. Also, if you've made a name tag, but sure to wear it since we
have several new members (and some of us old members don't have a great memory
for names!!!
Now for our supply list:

Two 2 oz blocks of white
