I wanted to add that the Old Mission United Methodist Church is a Beautiful Large Church on Shawnee Mission Parkway just East of Mission Rd on the South Side of the street in Fairway, KS

RE Clay to bring for Kashigata

You can use any two colors or more of your choice of clay.  Black, Gold and Red or Orange look nice.  So does Black, Gold and Blue or Purple.  Black and one or two other colors of your choice will work.  Come with your clay conditioned if possible.

• Bring twice as much clay of one color or scrap clay
• You can also bring any foils:  Silver, Gold, Copper, Verdigris 
• Wet Dry Sandpaper in 300, 500, 1000 grit or anything close.
• 4 x 4 ceramic tile for baking.  Bring extras if you have a few to share

February 2012 PlayDay

February is our first quarterly Saturday PLAY DAY, which replaces our monthly Tuesday evening meeting. SO, NO MEETING on Valentines Day (2-14-12). Instead, we'll gather on Saturday, February 11, from 12 - 4pm to play with clay!

Robin Young will bring all her many Kashigata Molds (Japanese Sugar Molds) for us to use and she'll guide us in making bracelets, pendents and more using these fantastic, detailed molds. This is a hands-on day so bring your clay and tools.

Things to bring:

Materials

♢ 2 oz black clay
♢ 2-3 oz red clay mixture: 2/3 part red (such as cadmium red Premo--), 1/3 part burnt umber

(if using Kato, try blending 4 parts Brown, 1 part Red, 1/2 part Black, as per http://shadesofclay.com/more/Color%20Recipes.htm)
♢ Metal foil, optional

Tools
♢ Basic tool kit (including pasta machine; roller; work surface; blades)
