We had a small but merry group this time

Summer is like that . We really enjoyed SHANE SMITH'S demo of her spaghetti cane... she lead us through so well that making a cane seemed easy! I had seen Shane do this demo before and really enjoyed how the group wondered aloud how the stack would turn into such a cool cane... it's magic! We had a great time comparing our results... amazing how we get so many outcomes from this variation of a kaleidoscope cane. Shane said she would be willing to come back some time and do a demo on making all sorts of miniatures... you should have seen the teensy little mugs she had with her... pretty amazing. Thank you, thank you Shane!

Our SILENT AUCTION brought in 82$ and change which will help to pay for our new Haier convection oven. Boy is it purty... and is still riding around in the back of my 4-Runner til we know when and if we are moving to the new location with Cottonwood School. Hate to move this 50 lb baby more than necessary! Can't wait to "fire it up".

ANNUAL DUES are, well, no other way to say it, due Sept 1. You can send your check to Anne Morris or bring to a meeting. (Check your directory or email Anne for her address. This was sent out in an email but personal information such as that will not be posted on the BLOG).
Make check to PPPCG
Members 30$ and Assoc Members 15$ (only if you are a full member of another poly clay guild).
Be sure to look at the library - we have a terrific collection that is getting very little use lately... Check it Out (LOL).

Our August meeting is still in the planning stages but will for sure include our BRACELET SWAP. Be sure to watch your email to find out if we will be at the new location or continuing at our current spot.

Our September meeting will be a Hearts and Hope session... come and participate as we make Hearts for Heroes and Bottles of Hope together... it is wonderful to use our favorite medium to share from our hearts. Check out the pictures on line for the Hearts and Bottles...
