Members of the guild enjoyed our first face to face meeting since March 2020. We were all so pleased to be able to meet again and we had lots of catching up to do!
It is very pleasing that our membership numbers have remained steady, in spite of the pandemic. I know many Groups have ceased to operate in the last eighteen months.
A big thank you must go to Enid who has valiantly kept the guild going through difficult times by arranging zoom meetings and suggesting topics for pieces to be made by members, to be entered into a draw for a prize.
On Sunday David was downsizing his supplies so we made donations for items, to send the money to PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) a charity very close to his heart. £170.00 was raised.

In the morning David showed us how to make skinny tube beads and in the afternoon Anne showed us how she makes large hollow beads with striped stacks of translucent clay.
We had our usual sales tables and raffle as well as some lovely pieces to show, which had been made by our members.
Shelly is standing down as part of the organising team. Many thanks to her for all her hard work and time she has given. Thank you to those members who very willingly stepped up to cover her duties.
Anne has agreed to take on some of this role, and Sue Butler has also offered to help. So, in future, they will be more of the “Face” of the Guild.
At the ClayDay, we decided that we would continue with our Two-monthly Draw. The difference being, now that we are able to meet again, is that instead of sending photos of your pieces to enter, you will bring them to the next ClayDay on 7th November. The subject, this time, is Translucent. Any piece that has a significant amount of translucency will be fine. Bring your piece to the next ClayDay. Your name will go into the Draw, and a winner picked at random. So, this is not a competition, only a Draw. The prize will be an online or pdf tutorial, yet to be selected.
Our next meeting will be at Wortham, near Diss on Sunday 7th November 2021 starting at 10.30am.
- Georgie will manage the Tools Library
- Sue Butler has taken on running our Facebook page
- Alison will be the new Membership Secretary.
