February Meeting

Hello everyone,
Welcome to our first meeting of the year. We have two Challenges to introduce and hope that one might inspire you. 

Queen City Clayers Cane Challenge 2016
Make a cane or two by picking one or more of the pictures provided on the Pinterest Link Below.
The rules:
  • The cane has to have at least 2 design elements from the picture(s) you choose
  • The cane cannot be an exact copy of the design (Color not included. If you choose to create the entire color palette of the picture that is fine too. It does count as one design element no matter how many colors you choose.)

There is a second part to this challenge. We are to eventually make a finished piece of Jewelry and or sculpture.
Please keep this in mind when choosing your pictures.

Queen City Clayers "Disk" Extruder Challenge 2016
This is a tool challenge, to inspire you to use an Extruder tool and experiment, play with it.  Sometimes this tool is under utilized.
Choice one of the Disk (1 through 9 ) from the Lucy Tools Extruder collection and make a project or one or two canes from using that one disk. Or use one of Cynthia Tinapple's Extruder disks. And at each one of the meeting you will bring your art work to show to the guild. 

Please bring your basic clay tool kit which should consist of clay blades, pasta machine or an acrylic rod, Clay of your choice: Fimo, Premo or Kato, wet ones for or something for cleaning hands and surfaces. A work surface (if you do not have one, we do have tiles you can use. And any other items or tools you may want or need. 

Does anyone have any particular demo you want to see?  If so let me know, I haven't decided on anything to present at this time. But when I do. I'll send info and any supply list. 
Please bring any projects or finished items you have been working over the Holiday and New Year for Show and Tell.  Can't wait to see what everyone has been working on.  I've been caning, so I'll be bring those in.  If anyone is needing any Candy / Deli paper please let Jenny McKitrick know, I think they are $8 a box. I'm completely out, so I need a new box myself.  

  Look forward to seeing everyone again and our new guests that will be joining us this meeting. 
See you soon,
 Cheryl Smith
