NE Branch Library – Setup Date
Tallahassee Guild member Leslie Cohen has made arrangements for us to display polymer work in the case at the Northeast Library in April. This is a great outreach and marketing opportunity for our group!
We will be meeting at the library on Tuesday, April 8 at 1 PM to set up our display.
What to Bring
- 2-4 items for display. Items can be mixed media, but polymer should be the focus.
- Display stands or trays for your items. Anything that will display your items to their best advantage. This can be traditional jewelry stands, a low tray filled with rice or beans, an attractive piece of fabric, etc. If you need traditional displays, contact Barbara or Lizette to borrow one.
- A label for each item that includes your name, the title of the piece if applicable, and the materials. Ideally, these should be on cardstock (4″x6″) and when folded in half the size of a business card. Example:
My Beautiful Polymer Jewelry
Polymer clay, beads, sterling silver findings
Artist: Polly Mer
If you cannot attend the day of setup, make arrangements to drop off your items by contacting Barbara immediately.
April Meeting
Note the new start time – noon! We can arrive a little bit before noon, but please be aware that there is a class taking place in the main room until 1145 AM. Your consideration of the students and teacher’s time is appreciated.
End time is unchanged – we need to be packed up and out by 4 PM.
When Saturday, April 5, Noon until 4 PM (sharp!)
Where Lafayette Arts & Craft Center, 501 Ingleside Avenue in Lafayette Park (midtown)
Project/Demo Ellen will be demonstrating her take of faux bone/ivory. If there is another demo or technique you’d like to see, contact us.
Please bring Library items to be checked in so others may take advantage of our Library.
April Class at Lafayette Arts & Crafts Center
Our Spring class is scheduled for Saturday, April 12 at 1 – 330 PM.
We need 2-3 volunteers to lead the class, which is will be bunny pendants and pastel egg-shaped beads for accent. Barbara will provide the sample and the tutorial information, but can’t help with the class due to a prior commitment.
These classes help cover our monthly rental at Lafayette as well and help bring new members to our group. You don’t need to be a polymer clay master to teach the classes. An enthusiasm for the medium, willingness to donate your time, and a moderate amount of prep work are all that’s needed. Please contact Barbara to sign up and help out.
