Inclement
weather:
If the weather is so bad that we decide to cancel a program,
we
will make every effort to notify you. There will be a notice
on
Channels 4, 6, and 12, there will be an
announcement on the website's home page, we'll post it on Facebook, and
there will be an e-mail blast. Check your e-mail or the
website
before leaving home or work. We will also try to call members
without e-mail. But let common sense prevail - if you do not
feel
safe driving stay
home. We want you safe to bead another day!
Table Talk note:
Traci will be taking
pictures of your one
piece with your name tag so we can have a slideshow
during the Table Talk portion of the program so we can more easily see
the pieces. Please come early and stick around for a few
seconds while Traci
takes the picture.

Second hands-on project of the year!
Have
you heard of Crystal Clay? It's a two-part epoxy clay that, when
mixed, hardens into something like concrete. Pressing crystals
into the clay creates a dazzling piece. You'll get to try your
hand at making a pendant using Crystal Clay and a metal bezel pendant.
Table Talk will be Inspired
by Nature. Let's see your beaded work that was
inspired by nature in all it's glory.
