This month's Guild Spotlight is on the local guild of one of our board members, Cat Therien. She started the CIPCG in 2003 to provide an opportunity for her students and other polymer clay enthusiasts from the local area to get together and share their art with one another. They currently meet monthly at the Hobby Lobby classroom in Peoria, Illinois.
Called "Clay Days," the meetings open with a 2-hour paid class taught by the current president, Pam Miller. The class is optional, though most members do attend. The class then rolls into the guild meeting, which is very casual and unstructured. Guild meetings are free and open to the public. Even curious shoppers who stick their heads into the classroom are invited to come in and see what the group is doing.

The Israeli Polymer Clay Guild was founded 5 years ago. All of the members of the guild know each other. We have a website where all can come in and write about or upload their artwork and others can then comment.
Every month we have a challenge that the girls take part in and the first prize winner received a gift. Every month we have a workshop that a member of the guild teaches. Sometimes, if there are a lot of members registered, we have more than one workshop!
Every week I make a slide show with their work that I upload to our board. I also advertise on our Facebook page. I send out a newsletter with all the things that happened to the guild in the last week and send messages to the entire guild.

Florida Fun, Sun, Clay, and Fandango, Too!
by Charline Ahlgreen
 The Orlando Area Polymer Clay Guild (OAPCG) was the brainchild of Mary Jenkins, who was, at the time, a member of the Ocala Polymer Clay Guild. Mary approached Laurie D'Ambrosio in October 2003 to propose starting a polymer clay guild in Orlando. As they were in a stamping store, Laurie approached the owner, who agreed that they could use the store's back room for their meetings. The room was miniscule, so it's a good thing that the group started out small (the first meeting, on 29 Nov. 2003, had 9 attendees).
At the first meeting, among other plans for the newly formed OAPCG (demonstrations and tutorials by group members, guild library, swaps, raffles, etc.), they decided that they would become active in the Bottles of Hope project. The original attendees designed, completed, and sent off their first efforts to the Arnold Palmer Women's and Children's Hospital at the end of that first meeting. By the third meeting, they had delivered over 40 BOHs, and our involvement in the BOH project has been ongoing every month since.
