The May meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, May 18, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi.  Shanda will be sharing how to make a beautiful mosaic tile ring and matching earrings since so many of us missed it back in March. 

 

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!!!
