The April meeting of the Central
Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, April 21st, at 10:00
a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi. Debbie will be
leading this meeting and the focus will be on extruder basics. There are many
techniques that can be done by hand but are much more precise when done with an
extruder and some that are almost impossible to do without an extruder.
If time allows, Debbie will also go
over some more advanced extruder techniques.
Please be sure to get to the library promptly at 10:00 a.m. so we can
get set up and started by 10:15.
There are several extruders
available on the market but our preference is the green Makins extruder. The local craft stores do not carry this extruder
so you will need to order it online. Here
are two links. Beware that there are
cheap knock-offs out there but they won’t last.
CLAY SUPPLIES:
Bring at least three (3) packages of clay
in colors that make you happy. Since
this will be a technique meeting, color just adds to the fun. As always, bring at least one block each of
black and white in addition to your colored clay.
OTHER SUPPLIES
Normal
clay supplies including tissue blade and pasta machine
Work
surface (smooth 12 inch ceramic tiles work well)
Plastic
wrap to store your work
Green
Makins extruder and dies
NOTE TO GUESTS:
We
have had several people attend our meetings recently. Our Guild’s policy is that a person can
attend 2 meetings free. After that,
people have the option to pay $5.00 per meeting or join the Central Mississippi
Polymer Clay Guild. Our membership year
begins in June with an annual membership fee of $20.00. The prorated new member fee is $2.00 per
month, so members joining in April would pay $4.00 for April and May, then renew
in June with the rest of the guild.
