July Meeting Reminder!

July Meeting and Supplies List

When: Saturday, July 6 @ 1 PM until 4 PM

Where: Lafayette Arts & Craft Center

As part of the July meeting, we’ll explore the Sutton Slice technique. Bring your basic clay kit, deep textured unmounted stamps (such as these ) and a small tile (4″ square) to bake on (in addition to your work surface).

For the remainder of the meeting we can work to create a polymer nametag. Bring canes, an image transfer, mixed-media supplies and either a magnetic nametag set or a pinback. We’ll have some letter stamps available, too.

Please remember to bring your semi-annual dues, too. See the information below. 

Lafayette Art Center Rental Update

At the June meeting we discussed the future of our guild’s meetings at the Arts & Crafts Center. The consensus is that meeting at the center has been very beneficial for the guild and all those present want to continue meeting there. To that end, the following decisions were made and agreed upon:

• Guild funds will be used to pay rent for July (in the event that the June 22 class does not cover those fees).
• We will not meet in August due to so many people planning on being out of town or otherwise committed. We will meet in September, and depending on what agreement is reached with the Center, may or may not need to pay rent for that month’s meeting.
• We will raise dues to cover rental fees for at least half the meetings each year ($75 per month or $825 for 11 meetings per year). The other half of the year’s rent would be covered by fundraising the one or all of these methods:

When the new Center Manager is announced, Barbara will contact him/her and work to continue our current arrangement of donating a class each month and the class fees being used to cover rental fees.

Holding classes (off site if need be) to raise money for the guild to cover rent at the Center.

Dues

Beginning immediately, dues will be $20 every 6 months OR $30 annually.  Dues will be collected at the first meeting of the year in January and at the first meeting in July. If you cannot attend either meeting, please mail your check (made out to Tallahassee Polymer Clay Guild) to:
