Polymer Clay Guild of Minnesota

This is a store for items with the PCGMN logo. Our group meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Textile Center in Minneapolis MN. See www.pcgmn.org for more information. Mission and Goals The Polymer Clay Guild of Minnesota is a non-profit organization. Our mission is to promote polymer clay as an art form and to share our knowledge and ideas with others who love working with polymer clay. The guild’s objectives are to provide a forum for members to share their expertise and educate the public, promoting interest in the use of polymer clay as an artistic medium by: * Exhibiting polymer clay work in galleries, art centers and other display venues * Demonstrating clay techniques at public events * Teaching techniques through public service opportunities We do this in a safe, respectful and welcoming environment. About Our Logo Our logo is designed to reflect both the process and the products of polymer clay. It incorporates square and circle shapes to indicate the method of transforming a firm square of new clay into a ball of “conditioned” clay which can then be formed into elements for use in the making of innumerable artistic creations. The primary tool is our pair of hands. The checkerboard and the stylized flower shape represent the many loaf designs, millefiori patterns and pictures that are formed into canes for slicing. Out of squares, balls, and designed elements emerge beads, buttons, boxes, books, dolls, jewelry, vessels, wall plaques and decorations of all kinds. The logo was hand-drawn and hand- lettered. Working with polymer clay is a hands-on experience.
