Making paper Beads with Carole Rudy

Welcome & Announcements:

**Kathy Sullivan passed out copies of the forms we need to fill out if we are submitting any work to Commonwheel Art Gallery in August.  She gave more details of what is expected, and encouraged us to make 3-D items as well.  Digital pictures of our work as well as the forms need to be sent to Commonwheel by Friday, June 22.  The show will begin Fri, August 17.

**The guild’s “Art In Hand” retreat will be $75 for 4/3-hour classes, lodging at the Franciscan Retreat Center and $50 for commuters.  Kathy Sullivan will do a linoleum class, Kim Hetherington will do one on book binding, and Candy one on mixed media.

**The Sherrie Loveler workshop “Painting Poetry”, is a no lettering workshop creating marks and background designs the weekend of June 23/24.

Show & Share:

**Shelley Hitz showed several versions of work she digitized and used on business cards and greeting cards. 

**Cecelia showed us a piece she did in her recent workshop with Sherrie Loveler.

Evening Presentation:

**Carole had several stations set up for embossing our newly rolled beads and heating them with a heat gun. We were to have brought strips of colored paper and she showed us how to roll them into different diameters and explained how the shapes will change depending on the width and length of each strip of paper.  This was a very fun and practical presentation and a lot of work went into putting it together, so thank you, Carole!
