TOWSON METALS & JEWELRY CLUB!!!

Hello everyone...just wanted to let you know a little bit about the Metals & Jewelry club (if you didn't already know about it) and wanted to give you a heads up about all the cool stuff we have coming up!

We had our first meeting already but don't worry, it's not too late to join! Our next meeting is October 1st at 6:30 in CA 2006. At our first meeting we had elections for officers, talked about all of the perks you get from being a member, went over the budget, talked about possible field trips, workshops, speakers, and a holiday sale among other things.

So let me get to the fun stuff...
Sep 30 - Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair in DC (washingtoncitypaper.com/craftybastards)
Laura and I are going to be driving so if you want a ride contact one of us. There will also be a sign up sheet posted
on the door outside of CA 2015 I believe, you might want to ask Rebecca for details.
We will be leaving at 10 am and coming back by 5 so people can make it to the studio if they need to work

Oct. 1 - After the club meeting at 6:30, there is a Gocco workshop at 7:30 in 2015. I'm not sure who is leading this
workshop, so again, you might want to contact Rebecca!
For more info on Gocco visit this link: http://www.gocco.com/prod.HTM

Oct. 12 - Life Near the Bone at the G-Spot Gallery. This is April's exhibition so everyone needs to go check this out!

Oct. 19 - Earwire and pinback workshop from 12:00-2:00 in CA 2015. Rebecca is taking the time to learn the proper
techniques and wants to show us all how to make these! Bring wire (20g half hard, sterling)

Oct. 25 - Workshop on photographing your own work in CA 2006 led by Rebecca.
Make sure to bring some of your work and your own camera!

Nov. 9-10 - Philly Museum of Art Craft Show! This is going to be sooo much fun! We will all be riding together, leaving on
friday the 9th, sleeping over, and coming back saturday night!

Nov. 19 - At 7:00 Rebecca, Laura and I are meeting in CA 2006 to make a banner for the club. Anyone is welcome to join!
We'd love your help and design ideas!

There is soooo much more that we are going to do...so come check it out at our next meeting Oct. 1!

There is only a $10 fee to join and for that you get access to a special cabinet with all kinds of fun tools that aren't in the DePatta, informative speakers, awesome workshops, fun field trips, the ability to participate in the holiday sale to make some money and get your work out there, and best of all it's an easy fun way to get involved and get to know alumni and students involved in the jewelry and metalsmithing program here at Towson!
