June's Meeting Notes




The June meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, June 18, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi.  Joyce and Debbie will demo a couple of ways to do Mokume Gane.  For our newest members; Mokume Gane is Japanese technique of layering metals to form a pattern similar to wood grain veneer.  Mokume Gane is an ‘oldie and a goodie’ technique, that cannot go wrong no matter how it’s done. We are going to complete 3 projects with our Mokume Gane veneer(s).
