The September meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, September 20, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi.  Arlene will be leading the meeting this month and the topic is “Pumpkins”, two great projects to get you thinking about fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving!  This will involve a lot of hands on work – some scroll work, some sculpting, some experimentation with textures and multiple bakings so we will need to get started as soon after 10 as possible.  It should be a fun class so I hope to see you all there. 

SUPPLY LIST:

Clay – conditioned prior to the meeting

2 two-ounce blocks of yellow clay – I used Premo Cadmium Yellow
