ClayDay May 12th, 2019

Another 1 week left to the next ClayDay! How time flies but we hope you can join us again for a full day of claying. Our first demo is from Belinda who will be showing how to make this pixelated cane for you to make into a veneer.

You will need:

• ​Clay - black, white & 5 other colours.
• Extruder with small circle, square or triangular disc.
• Something to measure 20cm/8".
• Work surface to hold 20cm/8" lengths of clay. 

By popular request Shelley will demonstrate how she makes these colourful rainbow roses. 

You will need:

• Clay in Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple. 
• Small(ish) circle cutter
• Blades
• Pasta machine

A few reminders!

• Inchies

If you plan to take part in the Inchie Swap, you could bring your 20 Inchie Tiles on Sunday, although there will still be time at our next meeting.  I have attached a photo of 16 Inchies I made for the 2017 20th Anniversary Event in Kidderminster, not as a particularly good example, but just to give you an idea of what it entails.
 

• Christi Friesen Weekend

There are still some places available at this event in Kidderminster on 25th and 26th May.  You can find out more about it on the  website: www.bpcg.org.uk  or, on YouTube 
 

• Debbie Bulford Template Competition

The idea is that, those who want to, should design a template and bring it to the ClayDay next Sunday.  It would be best drawn on a slightly larger than a postcard piece of thin card.  We will then choose a winner at random and keep it secret. I will then send the winner’s design to Debbie Bulford.  An overall winner will be selected and their design will be turned into a template which will then be sent to their group. It will be possible for other groups to buy the templates too and Debbie will offer these at trade price and postage.  There are further details attached.  Could I suggest that you leave a space on your template design to draw round one or two of the bail shapes that I showed you last time, as that template is not available to buy.  If we all put it on, and win, then we will guarantee to get the bail shape!

There will be all of our usual tables and we welcome any raffle donations. Please RSVP your place by emailing ​apcg@live.co.uk
