The Blue Ridge Polymer Clay Guild was formed in April 1999. We're an enthusiastic group of polymer clay users and addicts, from beginners to hobbyists to professionals. We meet the second (er..sometimes) Saturday of each month from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Avery Creek Community Center in south Asheville. Click here for directions. Join our email list at www.groups.yahoo.com/group/brpcg.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to scheduling problems with our rented room we have had to move some meetings to the third Saturday of certain months! Please see the detailed schedule below for the definitive date for each month.


based in Asheville, North Carolina

April 12, 2008 - CLAY DAY!
9am to 5pm

Polly: Wow a clay day finally! I love clay day!

Clay: Me too. I have been waiting months for this.

Polly: There are lots of demos..some by almost famous people, and...

Clay: Food.

Polly: ...time to work on my latest project without the cat stepping on it and..

Clay: Food!

Polly: ...some XM Radio in the background and..

Clay: FOOD!

Polly: Is that all you can think about is food? I mean here you are given a great day amongst creative friends, to share your work, listen to some soothing music, work on some new idea and all you think about is food. You can really disappoint me sometimes.

Clay: I'll be disappointed if the stuffed shells arent there again this year.

Polly: I dont even know if I will take you along if all you are going for is food?

Clay: Apparently you didnt have the stuffed shells last time...or those chocolate cookies....or that big brownie pie..

Polly: I remember the brownie pie...

Clay: See there!!

Polly: No no. It isnt about the brownie pie. It is about the comaraderie, about the sharing of ideas, about the creative energy, and being around others with like interest. It is about the auction and having a chance to own a creation no one else in the world has. It is about the art!

Clay: I guess you are right..but I can still remember the aroma of those shells...

Polly: You're hopeless. Entirely hopeless.

2008 Clay Days - April 12 and Oct 11
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Clay Days are now free days! No charge to come for the morning or the afternoon, or stay and clay all day long, whether you're a member or not. Bring your clay and tools and any related materials. The oven will be running all day for your creating pleasure.

This is a perfect opportunity to:
• work on a project you haven't had time for
• brainstorm ideas for a project you're "stuck" on
• figure out how to use that interesting stuff you bought to use with clay but haven't tried yet
• share a technique you've been experimenting with
• learn from someone else's demonstration
• and just play!
See you there!
