JANUARY MEETING

Join us for our first meeting in the new year January 8 at 10:00 all are welcome.  We will discuss upcoming events and classes.  We have a demonstration after each monthly meeting. This month Judi will demonstrate how to use polymer clay in jewelry making. 

*Polymer clay is a type of modeling clay. It typically contains no clay minerals, but like mineral clay a liquid is added to dry particles until it achieves gel-like working properties, and similarly, the part is put into an oven to harden. Polymer clay is generally used for making arts and craft items, and is also used in commercial applications to make decorative parts. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

FROM EVERYONE AT THE WESTBROOK LAPIDARY CLUB

MAY YOUR NEW YEAR BE FILLED WITH HEALTH & HAPPINESS
