May Studio Events

Now that Mitsubishi has discontinued their (wonderful!) “PMC” line of metal clays, I’ve been experimenting with some of the other brands that are available. I want to do a few more tests before I start writing about them but for now I’ll add this one quick note:

I can work just fine with any of them, myself. I think I may have identified a couple favorites for my own use. But I have yet to find one that doesn’t have some major setback or other for use in classes. (This is not a total surprise: my favorite type within the PMC-brand to use for classes was not my first choice for the one I would work with in my studio!).

But I still have a few more to test out before I make any final decision (and since I am now into peak garden-prep season, my art-time is a bit constrained…).

Still, the point of this post: I have some great new pieces out of my recent explorations with these new clays, and I’ve got them ready to send off to new homes at either of the two events I have in May (which can also be found on my Facebook Page or website for Convergent Series) are:

• First Sunday, May 7, 1 to 5 pm 
  (Moved a week earlier than in recent months to allow for shopping before Mothers Day.)
• Third Saturday Extra-Special, May 20, 9-ish am to Noon 
  (And a second chance this month because this coincides with the wonderful Regent Square Community Yard Sale and WSCC’s annual Plant and Used Books sale.)

Since posts usually contain pictures, I’ll close with this one. Do stop by to discuss which product I used for it, and see my other newest treats!
