It’s Finally Here! Chili Clay Retreat is this Weekend

Demos

As of right now, we have the following demos planned for the Retreat:

Saturday

Ellen – gelli plate printing on polymer clay (here’s a link if you’d like to make your own plate or you can purchase them online or in person from several retailers (amazon, utrecht, etc.).

Barbara – Skinner Blend Showcase (aligned, offset, down & dirty, micro blend)

Sunday

Starr – Torch firing Precious Metal Clay (PMC). See how to use PMC and how some types can be torch fired (no kiln needed!).

Cindy – corkscrew, twist stick, and spiral beads.

If you are interested in showing off a new technique in clay, any basic skill that would be of interest to new clayers, jewelry related techniques like closures, wirework, chain maille, etc., please send your name, topic of demo, and estimated time needed for same to Barbara.

Inchies Swap (Optional)

If you want to participate, make 1″ tiles from polymer clay. You can make them individually or make a large tile and cut it up. You can make them one-sided, two-sided, thick or thin, it’s up to you. There are many examples online. If possible, please have a card with your name and email address to hand out with your tile, so we can identify everyone’s contributions.

On Sunday, we’ll get out our tiles and swap! What you do with the tiles afterwards is up to you – you can display them in a frame, incorporate them into another piece of work, whatever!

This is completely optional, and is definitely something you can work on during the Retreat.

You can park in the Lemoyne lot next to the center, if there isn’t a class going on.  I’ll know more about the class situation later this week. Ditto the spaces along Call Street.

We can park in the law office lot across the street. Do not park in the hair salon’s lot.
