General Meeting Format
Meeting begins at 6:30 and lasts up to 9:00 p.m.

Doors will open at 6 pm for return of library materials.

Meeting is called to order and guild business is discussed. We talk about upcoming shows and events, programs such as Bottles of Hope and Hearts for Heroes, what's happening with the annual retreat and set up swaps and challenges.

All members get three minutes for Show and Tell. This is mostly polymer clay but can also include craft shows, jewelry and other related items. To present anything to the Guild beyond 3 minutes of Show & Tell, please contact SDPCG President Ellie Hitchcock 24 hrs. IN ADVANCE to get on the agenda!

As time permits, we have demos by members and guests. All members are encouraged to share new techniques and ideas. Please contact the guild president prior to the meeting to get on the agenda.

 

After all the talk is done, members check out what everyone has brought, share thoughts and ideas and buy raffle tickets.

 

The raffle table holds many crafty items related to polymer clay, jewelry making and other related items. 
Raffle
We have several raffles at each meeting with Polymer prizes donated by Guild members. This is an excellent opportunity to expand your polymer collection! Please look through your materials to see if you have something gathering dust that another member can use. We all like to collect polymer clay art and jewelry, right? What do you have that we can add to the raffle?
As always, Thank You!
