Forum Happenings…

If you haven’t checked out the forums at TCS, you really should. There’s already a great group of participants. The first bead swap is about to take place, and more upcoming swaps are expected. This forum is growing fast, and having moderators for each of the categories would be a great help. It’s a fun way to meet people! If you’re interested, contact us at: forum@theclaystore.com.

The great tutorial search…

Don’t forget about our tutorial request. We’ve added several of our own tutorials and plan to add more, but we would really love to post your creations also! It can be as simple as you like, just document your next project with pictures and instructions, email the project to us at tutorials@theclaystore.com and we’ll add your work with full credit given to you as the artist.

The business of Polymer Clay…

We’ve had a great response from those of you who are finding success in the marketplace with your clay work. We are still looking for input on this for the "Clay as a Business" article in our next newsletter. Write to us at: newsletter@theclaystore.com.
