Next we had show and tell. Tom, Penni Jo, Jane, LeeAnn, Connie and Lori brought great ‘show and tell’ items. Check out all of the Show & Tell items brought to the meeting on the guild website.
A question came up about a large bottle of hope that the clay had cracked on.
Great Tip: The recommendation was made that when heating clay with glass, it is best if you do not preheat the oven, (put your piece in the oven then turn on), after heating for your allotted time, leave your piece in the oven, time turn off the oven and let the piece cool down in the oven then remove.
