Old Business:

  • Retreat: Discussion of auction. Concern with the prices that some of the artist’s work sold for. Was suggested that the value of the item and suggested minimum bids be displayed.

July 2018 Meeting – Tiny Pandora UV finish

Our next guild meeting will be Saturday, July 14, 2018 from 1:30-4:30 p.m. in the Contemporary Arts Center at the fairgrounds.  This is inchie month, with a theme of “Summer”. We will also have a drawing this month, so if you won something last time, bring some goodies for this one!

Tom will be showing us how to use the Tiny Pandora UV finish.

This month we will be doing a Demo/Play with Tiny Pandora DeepShine brush-on UV Finish. You are encouraged to bring a prebaked items you wish to coat. That could be earrings, pendants, bracelets or if you have baked your wolf from last month and need his/her eyes to have an extra sparkle. If you have a UV light box (36 watt or more) please bring it. There are no special tools or clay needed.

This meeting will be kind of a free to clay day because the demo will be brief. So bring something else to work on, we will have lots of bottles if you would like to work on one or two or more. (hint hint)
