ClayDay 25th March Report

The clocks changed and we had another successful meeting at the village hall. We are thrilled to welcome another new member to the guild.

Enid demonstrated first on how to make a new cane. She made mirrored patterns like Kaleidoscope in clay. By stretching and dividing and rejoining again - it is so easy to make simple repeated patterns to create a stunning piece. 

Anne demonstrated how to make a pattern that look like watercolours. She starts off with laminating a piece of clay tinted in alcohol inks and layering a thin piece of translucent clay on top. Using cutters, she cuts out shapes and layers them. When the clay is baked, the inks look like it is painted on

Our members tried out the new techniques and produced good results:

Members had also brought some of their recent makes to the meet. 

Sculpey generously donated some clay to us again. Everyone received a block of Bake Shop to try. We also had a chance to re-stock our own clay supply by purchasing discounted polymer clay which is sold by the guild. 

The meet had all the usual tables and we hope that everyone had a good day and enjoyed themselves.
