Polymer Clay Productions, Inc. » 2007 » August

In case you haven’t heard the National Polymer Clay Guild will be having a conference in Maryland in Feb. They just released their catalog of events and I thought I would post them for you all to see. Make sure to listen to Polymer Clay Podcast this Friday to hear more about what the NPCG has planned for the event. I am really looking forward to getting to meet everyone in person. I have never been to a polymer clay retreat or event so it will be great to attend this one. I encourage you to consider going to this event especially if you want to take your polymer clay art or business to a new level. There are some amazingly talented artists attending and giving seminars that you won’t want to miss. Here is some of the things they have planned.

Sessions

The NPCG 2008 conference is a new kind of conference for the polymer clay, metal clay, mixed media, and sculpting communities. Rather than hands-on classes aimed at teaching specific creative techniques, this conference is full of 90 minute seminars, lectures and panel discussions aimed at promoting sharing and communication between presenters and attendees alike.

In addition, Synergy will give you the opportunity to speak with teachers and bring back their proposals to your local organizations, purchase supplies, tools, and finished work, network with other artists, and attend the American Craft Council show (separate fee).

Registration includes six 90 minute seminars, all presentations and panel discussions, admittance to the Synergy Gallery, Teacher Fair, and Vendor Fair. Additional seminars can be purchased for $30 each. Tickets for the Closing Banquet and Auction are $35 each.

Registration will open on October 1.
