The first ClayDay for 2018 will be held in less than 2 weeks! To kick off the new year, there will be 2 demos and plenty of clay for sale. Our usual tables will also be available such as the Tool Library, Raffle and "I made this".
The first demo will be from Enid that will teach us another way to make Hallow Beads. The beads photos here have been made using the technique Enid will be demonstrating. (please note that the veneer isn't demonstrated). As usual Enid will also have spares for some materials if you do not have any.
You will need:
- Baking or layout paper
- Sellotape
- Scissors
- Ultralight clay, if you have it
- Small piece of coarse (about 120 grit) wet or dry sandpaper
- Scrap clay
- Little dish for water
- Ruler, or squared work surface
- Liquid polymer clay
- Needle tool
- Small round cutter
- Polymer clay veneer of you own choosing
The next demo will be done by Anne Murray. She will teach a clever technique to make faux ceramics. If you don't have all the materials there will be some spare for you so that you can try it out yourself.
Please bring:
- White clay.
- Cutter shape of your choice to make pendant (not too small).
- Texture sheet of your choice (make sure that when transferred to clay it gives you depressions to hold liquid.
- Liquid Clay or Bake n Bond.
- Two contrasting colours of alcohol inks.
- Something to mix in (metal paint pallet is good).
- Cloth (baby wipe left to dry out is ideal).
- Gloss varnish.
- Paint brush.
- Cocktail sticks.
- Bail (if you want to use one). You can cut a hole in the pendant if you want.
Please bring any raffle donations, craft items you want to sell and even something new that you have just made to show to other members. We hope to see you so do join us by sending an RSVP to apcg@live.co.uk
