I've belonged to many organizations and headed up many groups.  One of the biggest challenges in running a group is participation and content.  In a polymer clay guild, it can be intimidating for members to come up with new program ideas or to teach fresh techniques. So many new techniques are still being created and there is often unintended conflict as the concept of polymer clay as an art form goes through it's growing pains.  

​

In order to foster growth in the polymer community and open the techniques I teach to a broader audience, I'd like to offer the tutorials I've listed here to guilds free of charge.  A designated member of the guild can contact me and I'll provide a free copy of the tutorial to be taught to the guild for their programs. Many tutorials have concepts that can be covered in multiple programs. Individual guild members will be provided a discount code that they can use to purchase their own personal copies at a huge discount!

​

Here's what I need:

1) Guild information including a guild website, location, and verified guild email.

2) Documentation on the website that the person contacting me is a member.

3) The name of the tutorial you wish to share with your guild.

4) Dates of the meeting(s).

​

I'll provide a copy of the tutorial, photos for promotion, and a discount code for guild members who wish to purchase their own copies.  No purchases are necessary.  Though the individual sharing the tutorial can share notes and pictures of their progress, I ask that no photos or text from the tutorial be copied, distributed or duplicated - other than the promotion photos that I share.  Also, if you'd like to explore using canes rather than making canes, I can arrange a group purchase discount of canes if I have stock available.
