Now More Than Ever - Rio Grande

journal of the pmc guild
As reported earlier in iFusion, the PMC Guild will return to Purdue
University for its next Conference, scheduled for July 29-Aug. 1, 2010.
“The Guild debated moving to another location, but decided to stick with
Purdue,” reports Executive Director Jeanette Landenwitch. “After reviewing
the needs for our biennial conference, and much searching for alternative
locations, we have made the decision to return to Purdue University in
Indiana for our 2010 conference. Our goal is to have the best conference
experience for our attendees. Purdue has everything we need, has the
dates available for us, and is a great value for the money.”
The Phoenix Chapter “The Metal Heads Feat of Clay” hosted a workshop
with Christie Anderson (aka “The Birdhouse Lady”) in March. They just
completed a fantastic workshop with Jay Humphreys, learning the ins and
outs of metal clay veneer. They are looking forward to hosting workshops
this year with Kate McKinnon, Holly Gage, Pam East, Hadar Jacobson,
and a Rio Certification class with Barbara Becker Simon.
Diane Sepanski, leader of the group says, “My plan is to stimulate
the creative process by promoting contests and competitions, introducing
new processes for metal clay, and materials to include with metal clay and
bringing in guest instructors.
Reminder: Members are entitled (and ecouraged) to sign up for the Guild’s
