Clay Day Report - 21st July 2013
What with the very generous donation from the lovely people at Polyform and five (yes, five!) new members joining our group, this was an exciting day. It's lovely to welcome Sue, Sam, Kasey, Jess, and Lorraine to APCG - all bursting with talent.
Notices
- Polyform donation.
a) Clay – Everyone received a free pack of classic mix Premo! If you weren’t at this Clay Day and normally attend, we have saved a pack for you.
There is more to come in different colours and we'll be giving them out at intervals with some challenges attached!
b) Tools library – The tools were on display and will be available to borrow from our library at our next event. There will be a small donation of £1.00 to borrow up to three sets of tools and monies raised will be used to buy more.
Thank you Polyform!
2. Texture plate swap with NWPCG in Seattle. These have been despatched. Those we received were available. Carrie kindly donated some extras and they were all lovely so we hope to see some of the things you make using them.
Show and Tell: We had a variety of items to see and admire. Some of the photos are shown in this report but you can also see them in the gallery.
Demo 1
This was quite fascinating. Maxine showed us how to use salt to texturise clay. It gives a lovely stone or lava effect. Here is something Shelly made after seeing the demo:
Do send us your photos of ways you have used the technique – we love to see them and we will post them in the gallery.
