Less than 2 weeks to the last ClayDay of 2018 which is also our annual ClayDay with a full day workshop with a guest. This time the workshop will be conducted by Jude Parker and she will be teaching us how to make these Flight Pendants. 

For this workshop you will need to bring:

• Pasta machine
• Work surface
• Blades (including a flexible blade)
• Roller
• Small tile to bake on
• Scrap paper
• Clay (any brand, but you’ll need a few colours plus some scrap)
• Large cookie cutter in the shape you want your pendant (optional - you can use a paper template and craft knife if you prefer)
• Needle tool (optional)
• Bail of your choice OR wire &
• pliers (optional - I will bring copper wire and some pliers)
• Stringing & clasp of your choice (optional - bring it if you’re like me and like to wear your pieces home)

Current members do not have to pay any additional fees for this full day workshop but we do welcome new members if they would like to attend but would have to pay £30 for the membership fee. 

Our usual tables will be running as usual on the day so make sure you bring your latest makes and anything else you would like to sell to other members. We welcome raffle donations and the Guild Tool library will be open.

Remember to also bring your own name-tag made from polymer clay as it will help the instructor to learn your names and there will also be a prize for the best name-tag. 

Please make sure to RSVP your place by emailing to apcg@live.co.uk

Another successful ClayDay with 3 new members and lots to learn! In the morning Enid taught us how to make cutters using a can and simple tools.

June's demonstration taught us how to make a 'brain cane' with a Skinner blend and some simple steps. It's a highly effective technique and members tried to make their own as well. 

We had all of our usual tables for everyone to enjoy. We hope members took advantage of the Guild tool library and the discounted clay.

We also love to see our members' beautiful creations. Make sure you bring along your latest polymer clay creations to be featured. 

Thank you to all members who attended this meet. We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves and hope the new members will be able to join us for future meets.
