February's meeting was a full length demo of the ISGB 2022 Commemorative Bead, pictured above, The video can be viewed here.
March, 2023 : Guest artist Chris Haussler demonstrated how he makes his adorable chickens! He made a large white one and then a wee, blue and white one. The sluggie with the glow in the dark eyes was the adorable critter he made. Even though the poor guy fell on the bench right before going in the kiln, he survived just fine. Thank you, Chris! We look forward to seeing you in October!
