Hello Fellow Clayers,
We have an exciting July meeting planned using an extruder to make “Klimt” canes and then using those canes to cover the stems and bases of wine glasses and candle holders. I am donating the glasses for everyone. I will also be bringing 3 extruders to share. Kato clay will be used because we can bake the large items in the toaster for ten minutes and everyone will be able to finish their project(s). We’ll have 2 toasters available. If each member will be prepared to condition one or two solid colors of Kato clay and then cut ¾” circles of that clay, we’ll be able to cover many projects. We’ll all share our circles to make our favorite color combinations into canes. One cane for each student will keep you busy for the afternoon. I’ll demo the steps and then we can all make our own creations.
In addition to the usual clay kit, please bring a ½”, ¾”, or 1” circle cutter and a tile to place your single color circle cutouts on. Black, white, and pearl are used in all canes to help define the other colors. So if you can’t decide what color to cut, cut one of those. It’s best if we condition and cut the clay at the meeting so that the clay circles will be soft enough to extrude.
Looking forward to claying with all of you!!

At the last meeting, I said that I was going to bring 2 shades of green. I still hope to come, but my mother had major surgery yesterday, and we are sitting in Greenville in the hospital. Hopefully she will go home Thurs or Fri. Just in case, I thought that someone might want to bring green so that the beautiful wine glasses have green available. Thanks so much, Beth
