"PolyBURGH" Polymer Clay in the ‘Burgh’s 2007 Retreat

Making even MORE new friends!
Renewing old friendships!
The Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Guild cordially invites you to join us for our
5th Annual Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Retreat!
October 26 PM through October 28 
 
At the Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Guild, there’s only one thing more exciting than claying—claying with friends! This year we will be at Lutherlyn in Prospect, PA. Lutherlyn is a year-round retreat center on 640 scenic acres with two lakes, 17 miles of trails, and comfortable accommodations. A short walk from the A-frame cabin accommodations, our work space will be in the spacious, well-lit dining hall open 24 hours. 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 4:00 Friday afternoon, October 26th through 3:00pm on Sunday, October 28th, 2007.
 
Accommodations: We have reserved three A-frame Village 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 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th. 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 four retreats, you know that—from the overflowing Goody Bags 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
Saturday morning: Kick-Start Your Creativity Exercise
Goody Bags: Becca's Abundant Goody Bags
 
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!
