And there’s a new PMC Guild Chapter in town, too! Approval came recently for 'The San Antonio , TX , Chapter of the PMC Guild . ’ Here is what Carol Waryas has to say. “Recently, several of us got together and decided to apply to the PMC Guild to form a chapter, and I'm happy to tell you that we have been approved as “The San Antonio , TX Chapter of the
PMC Guild” —the second chapter in TX (after Waco .)
I am writing to invite you and others you know to join us in the local Guild chapter. You do not have to be a member of the PMC Guild to join, but half of our membership must also belong to the PMC Guild. We plan to meet once a month, on the second Thursday of the month, at various locations in the San Antonio area, for the purposes of education (of ourselves and others), furthering the art of metal clay, and supporting each other in our creative endeavors. Membership is open to everyone; dues will be $25.00/yr.
The first meeting will be held on Thursday, June 12th, 6:30-8:00PM at:
India Palace II Restaurant, 15909 San Pedro Ave (281 North, between Bitters and Thousand Oaks), San Antonio, TX Ph: (210) 403-3688 (For
those of you want to eat dinner, you can check out their menu at www.indiapalacesa.com (but ignore the map—it’s to their Medical Center location). At this meeting, we will be electing officers, deciding on initial activities, and discussing meeting locations and topics. We will also have a raffle. We would love to have you join us (the first meeting is free), and we hope that you will want to become a member. If you would be so kind, so that we can get an estimate of the interest in the Guild and of how many people we can expect for the first meeting, please contact Carol (pwaryas@sbcglobal.net) and let us know:
- Yes, I plan to join you for this meeting.
- No, I can’t join you for this meeting, but I’d like to be kept informed about future meetings.
- No thanks, I’m not interested in this group . Please send me any questions or suggestions you may have--I’ll be your contact with the
group until we have our officers in place. We would also appreciate it if you would share this information with others who may be
interested.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and working with you in the Guild— this will be fun! Carol Waryas pwaryas@sbcglobal.net (210) 493-2944 (evenings and weekends)

1.5mm Stamping Set, Stone Setting Kit, 8” Tweezers, 7” Tweezers, 20ct Stone Assortment |

Stone Setting Kit |

|
|
1.5mm Stamping Set We found them again, at last. The 1/16” letter/number stamping set was so popular that we were more than disappointed when our source stopped making them. Since them we’ve hunted high and low and have just found this 1.5mm, 36-pc letter/number (plus “&”) set. It comes in a wooden box with clasp closure and each slot labeled. These are ever so slightly smaller than 1/16” (1/16” = 1.5875mm). So, here they are on special for June. Perfect!
Introductory priced at $10.95 (Offer good thru 30 Jun 08) Retail $12.95

Stone Setting Kit This kit contains 1/4 pound of investment for making models of your non-fireable gemstones, modeling clay, shaping platform, syringe for accurately measuring water, and complete directions on how to set gemstones that can't be fired. A must for holding those custom PMC settings open to receive your non-fireable stones and other objects! The silica-free red investment is an excellent choice for creating ring inserts, models for stones and for other materials that you want to set in silver clay but cannot be fired. It has the best shrinkage and expansion characteristics for working with metal clays, creates extremely accurate and detailed models, has 4-5 minutes working time, and dries quickly. Ideal for use with all firing methods. This investment contains no silica. This kit is a $26.00 value!

7” Tweezers |

These 8” Tweezers are a fabulous value! We searched for tweezers that are a bit larger than the ones typically included in metal clay tool kits. Some of us just like the longer length for handling or faster finding! This pair is stainless steel, has knurled handles and bent tips with serrated jaws for sure gripping. (Limited quantity)
Sale priced at $3.50 (Offer good thru 30 Jun 08) Retail $5.95

Our 7” Tweezers are another great value. They are also stainless steel, but with smooth handles, bent tips and smooth jaws. The bent tips allow better visibility when setting stones or picking up small pieces. On special for June. (Limited quantity)
