May 2017 Meeting Notes

The May meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, May 20th, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi.  Summer is just around the corner; Red Roses are budding, White Gardenias are in bloom/ smelling wonderful and Blue Violets are yet to come.  Debbie is going to take the lead and kick off Summer with a demo of an America Flag cane.   There should be some time left and Joyce is going to guide us through creating an Art Journal.
