Our Mission

The purpose of the guild is to gather local Artists and Crafters of all skill levels and interests together in a creative atmosphere to share knowledge, provide education, and promote the art of Precious Metal Clay.

What to Expect

During our meetings, fellow members exchange technical information, tips and tricks, favorite media and methods of inspiration. Members of the chapter who have experience in art forms other than PMC are invited to conduct demonstrations during meetings. Workshops and Special Events will be held periodically throughout the year to broaden our members' skill levels.

Meetings are no longer than 2 hours. Some members enjoy dinner out BEFORE the meeting at 5pm - everyone is welcome.
The structure of our meetings follows:

• Short business meeting
• Show and Tell
• Hands-on Learning or Demonstration
