September's Meeting


                                             
The September meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, September 17th, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi. This month we are going to cover some of the many “Surface Techniques” that are available for working with polymer clay. We have already covered a lot of them during other meetings so Joyce will demo some of the newer ones.  There was a request for one of the classics, the Sutton Slice technique, and so we covering that too. It is clay on clay, will not require a sealant, like the other techniques.


 SURFACE SUPPLIES:
  1. Embossing: resembles enameling
  2. Embossing folders and pigment inks: pigment inks heat set with the clay
  3. Masking with tapes and using paints: Inca gold paint
  4. Rubberstamping with pigment ink and a new way of using alcohol ink
  5. Oil based Sharpie markers on baked clay
  6. Sutton Slice: highly recommend Souffle clay
  7. Pan Pastels: with stencils and silk screens

Note: The following supplies will be used during the meeting if you want to play along.  Don't feel the need to purchase before you see in case you don't like the technique.
