Meetings and Location
Monthly Meetings
The Chicago Area Polymer Clay Guild meets on the third Wednesday of each month. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. We encourage you to contact one of the officers on the Contacts Page if you are attending a meeting for the first time in order to confirm the time and place of the meeting. See below for the meeting location and directions.
Each month's meeting consists of the following:
- General business and officer announcements
- Raffle Prize ticket sales and drawing
- Scheduled program
- Show and Tell
- Return and check out of library items
Scheduled programs consist of things such as technique demonstrations by members, project swaps, and/or creative challenges. Each member is encouraged to make suggestions for programs or to demonstrate to the other members a special technique they use or have learned.
We welcome polymer clay artists of every skill level; there are always new things to learn. If you are curious about polymer clay but have never tried it, come to a meeting and see what it's all about.
