The Rhode Island Polymer Clay Guild
In the summer of 1999 a few friends and I started the RIPCG.  In July we had our first trial meeting, in August a clay day, and in September 1999, we had our first official guild day.  The goal of our guild is to spend one day a month with like-minded people, and share techniques and ideas.

Now, three years later, we have over 20 members from Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, and we are still growing slowly but steadily.   We meet on the fourth Saturday of each month for five hours in Woonsocket (just minutes from routes 295 and 146) or in Cranston (close to Rte 95). 

How to Attend Our Guild Days
Every guild day is a hands-on clay day!  After a brief update about what's going on in the guild, members will exchange ideas, suggestions, and tips. There is always at least one demo.  Bring polymer clay and embellishments, tools (such as your pasta machine and your clay gun), a tile to work on, your pasta machine, items for show and tell, and your lunch.  Members take turns bringing in their ovens and some members bring items for the snack table (not mandatory!)

If you are interested in joining our guild and would like to attend a guild day as a guest, or if you are a former member who wants to rejoin, please contact Sandy, Vice President and Membership Coordinator, at [email protected] for more information (and easy directions).
