January 2015 Meeting:
Business news: Demos
for the next few months have tentatively been decided. February we will be hosting a Bottles Of Hope
day. Everyone should bring a 5" glass
bottle or smaller (some will be provided) and enough clay colors to decorate
your bottles. Sonny's BBQ has gifted
Nancy W a catered event and so we will all be fed. The Ashville Guild has also been
invited. Please send Nancy a note
letting her know how many plan to attend so we can be certain to have enough
food for all. March: Pattie will be
doing a demo for us. April: Linda wants
to do a demo (perhaps at her home). May:
Kathy has volunteered for a demo (if something comes up between now and then and
she can't do it; Maggie has said she will fill in).
Julie Eakes gave a wonderful demo on making organic looking
pieces. She gave useful tips and techniques
and allowed everyone to be creative. We
learned a new IKat technique and learned to use a gouge creatively. Thanks Julie for showing us this demo. An assortment of beautiful pieces were made
and perhaps in Feb we can return with them so we can take some pics for the
site.
Attendees: Maggie,
Cheryl, Kathy, Linda, Nancy, Laurie, Beth, Patti, Lynn, Julie, and Christine
drove in to visit.
