Yes, we hear you cry “where is our Clay Day report”?  Well, here it is. Sorry everyone, a busy week has delayed production!   

But what another lovely day we had. We welcome Patricia who joined us today.

We began with a few notices.

1.      Flower bead swap with our Greek twin guild.

If you didn't leave your beads with Nicky on Sunday, we hope you have posted them to Sue Heaser.

This is exciting - there were some lovely beads and we’re all looking forward to seeing the beads from Greece.

2. Texture plate swap with NWPCG in Seattle.

We are having a texture plate swap with our American twin guild in Seattle.  Sue gave us a demo last time showing ideas for this. If you are willing to join in, you will need to bring yours to our next meeting in May.  The suggestion is to make 5 of postcard size although this may be negotiable.  We’ll keep you posted (and we’ll be pestering you to sign up over the next few weeks)!

Show and Tell: As always, we were treated to a beautiful display of designs and ideas. Some of the photos are shown in this report but you can also see them all in the gallery at www.anglianpcg.co.uk/gallery.html

Trash to Treasures: This time we had some lovely musical charms available free to anyone. Thank you to whoever placed them here – they went like hot cakes! 

Demo

Carrie gave us a demo on some lovely ways to use scrap clay and produce a range of different sheets.

We were enthralled. Carrie showed four different techniques which gave a variety of great results.


Do send us your photos of ways you have used this – we love to see them and they will be posted in the gallery.

Question and Answer session

This was very informal. We were all keen to try out the ideas Carrie showed in the morning and, at the same time, were able to ask others about ways of working

Raffle: Diana won the Pearlex Powders – we hope you have fun using them Diana.

Thank you everyone – our next event is on Sunday 19th May – see you there!

Quick reminder everyone, our Clay Day is this Sunday.  If you haven't booked yet, it's not too late.  Click here for details.  

Carrie has sent us some photo examples for her demo on Sunday 17th March. You only need standard tools and a blunt-ended tool to accomplish the second of the two (e.g. end of paintbrush or blunt pencil).

They are lovely Carrie, can't wait! 

We know, it doesn't seem long since our last event. That's because it isn't!  There is less than two weeks to our next so don't forget to book your place: e-mail us or use our contact form. 

Carrie will be giving us a demo on a great way to use scrap clay to produce a wonderful new pattern and we have a question and answer session scheduled. See the outline for the day here.
