I wanted to share with you an upcoming class a friend of mine just shared with me. Here are all of the details:

Bottles of Hope Workshop to be held in South Eastern MA: A BOH workshop will be on May 13 from 4PM to 7PM at The Wellness Community in Hanover, MA on Route 139. This will be coming out on the May calendar but the calendars are almost always late so keep checking. The address & phone number of TWC (called Pathways as well) is:

273 Hanover Street
Hanover, MA 02339

(781) 829-4823

The website for the calendar for MA facilities is: http://www.twcgreaterboston.org/id181.html

The Wellness Community (TWC) is a facility that provides free support and classes for cancer patients and survivors, so please let people know that all cancer patients and survivor are of course welcome. Others who would like to make BOHs for cancer patients should call Kathy in the MA Hanover facility to see if there is enough room for them to attend. Of course seasoned clayers may email us at polymerclaypodcast@yahoo.com if they want to help out with setup, supplies and instruction (as well as playing with clay if time permits) and we will put you in touch with the right person.

This Friday we have a new episode of Polymer Clay TV, we have some footage to share from CHA, the Clay Fandango and we show you how to get started creating badge holders. If you work in an office these will be perfect for you.

I was thinking that I wanted to start some new features on the Polymer Clay Productions site.  I have recently started featuring a member of the PCAGOE every Monday. I was thinking that to get to know the community better I would like to feature someone from our Ning community once a week as well. If you haven’t joined yet you can click on the link where all the photos are on the sidebar or follow this link http://www.polymerclay.ning.com

This will be great exposure for you and it will give you a chance to get the word out about your artwork and share it with everyone as we have thousands of visitors every week from all over the world.  So what are you waiting for, all you have to do is sign up and it is free to join.

Kira and I have decided we want to give everyone a place to share Bottles of Hope that they have made with the community. We will be adding a slide show to the website where you can upload photos of Bottles of Hope you have created and we are happy to distribute them for you if you do not have a place to donate them to. These bottles are never sold they are given to cancer patients and their families. You can read more about this great program at this link, http://www.bottlesofhope.org

If you are in need of some bottles please feel free to contact us as we have some extras. polymerclaypodcast@yahoo.com

This week I wanted to share some of the work of Alissa of http://www.divadea.etsy.com

I love the series of goddesses she is creating and I wanted to share them with you. Her work is so whimsical and colorful and just fun to look at but of course you can always purchase her work at her etsy shop. Alissa also makes colorful buttons out of polymer clay that are perfect for that sweater you have been meaning to find buttons for so have a look around.

Ilysa and I were talking today, and recording this week’s podcast, and we decided that we would like to be more involved with the Bottles of Hope. Also, that we want to inspire and encourage other artists to work in this interesting and uplifting medium- covering tiny bottles with clay, and sending them off to encourage cancer patients in their struggle with the disease- filled with hope for their survival and recovery.

So- we are going to start creating one bottle a week, and posting pictures of them on Sundays. We will be putting a guestbook on the site every Sunday and you are encouraged to load up pictures of your bottles. There will be a weekly theme, and we will volunteer to collect and distribute them- or you can distribute them yourselves. Remember, BOH are not sold- they are given as gifts. Our first post showing our bottles will occur on April 11. The theme is SPRING.

We are thinking about having our weekly inspirational theme, and also have a quarterly contest with prizes and hopefully a “celebrity” guest judge. So stay tuned!

We loved our idea- but can’t think of a good name for it! So, we decided that we will have a contest. Help us think up a good name for our weekly BOH Sunday event, and either post a comment or email us. The creators of the top three best names will win a copy of the current Make it Mine Magazine, which we will be reviewing this Friday.
