"PolyBURGH" Polymer Clay in the ‘Burgh’s 2008 Retreat

The Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Guild cordially invites you to join us for our 6th Annual Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Retreat!
October 17 - 19, 2008

At the Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Guild, there’s only one thing more exciting than claying—claying with friends! For the second year we will be at Lutherlyn in Prospect, PA. Lutherlyn is a year-round retreat centered on 640 scenic acres with two lakes, 17 miles of trails, and comfortable accommodations.

Located a short walk from the A-frame cabin accommodations, our work space is spacious and comfortable. Lutherlyn is located 40 miles north of Pittsburgh off of Route 422 between Butler and Prospect. The best routes to Route 422 are I-79 or Route 8. For detailed directions check out their website at www.lutherlyn.com.

Dates: From 3:00 Friday afternoon, October 17th through 3:00pm on Sunday, October 19th, 2007.

Accommodations: We have reserved three cabins which house 12 beds each (eight bottom bunks and four top bunks), two full bathrooms (including showers), a porch, carpet, and heating. You will need to provide your own bedding and towels. Early registration and payment can secure a lower bunk while they last.

Cost:  $149.00 for Guild Members and $159.00 for non-members for the entire weekend!
This includes your lodging, a beverage bar, snacks, (soft drinks, coffee and tea), six meals, dinner Friday through lunch on Sunday, and Friday evening campfire with goodies.

Register early to ensure a lower bunk, and notify upon registration if you have a bunk buddy you want in your cabin. Last day for registration and payment is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th. No exceptions or refunds after this date.

As we did last year, we’ll organize a group order from Munro Crafts for all who are attending the retreat. If you’ve dealt with them in the past, you know that a bulk order can really save you some money. Check them out on the web at www.munrocrafts.com

What makes the retreat so wondrous:
If you’ve been to our other five retreats, you know that—from check-in when you arrive to the last hug you get when you leave—this is a special time!! Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Guild is an insanely good-spirited group of Clay Fanatics and fun folks!!! Come relax, share, swap and learn from demos, tips and techniques.

*Friday night: campfire

* PMC Kiln and Tumbler have been added to our equipment which will be available at the retreat.

*Demos: As in past years, there will be folks with new ideas willing to share by formal demos or impromptu ones throughout the weekend. This weekend is all about rest, relaxation and CLAY!

*Auction: An auction of wondrous art and materials from participants and sponsors of the retreat. Chances of getting a bargain or a highly sought-after piece of art are always high!

* Three Bead String Drawing - A lucky winner will go home with this original one of a kind memento made by the participants of the retreat.
