This bracelet was made by members of both the Windy City Chapter of the PMC Guild and the Chicago South Metal Clay Alliance. I love the slice of pizza by Katie Baum!

Below is a group shot of more bracelets that were raffled off in the second annual fundraiser by the metal clay community. The raffle was held Friday night at the PMC Conference.

The American Cancer Society received a check for $6,123.00 and the Bone Marrow Foundation received $3,629.00.

Thanks to Holly Gage, Carol Hamilton and all the generous makers of charms and buyers of raffle tickets!

The Greater Boston Metal Clay Chapter is a group of metal clay artisans of all skill levels gathering monthly in the creative environment of Metalwerx’s studio to share new techniques, discuss metal clay products, share ideas, and most importantly have some fun! We will be meeting monthly at Metalwerx in Waltham, MA. During chapter meetings a new technique will be demonstrated, we will share new ideas and tips, and discuss current projects. We will also discuss a challenge piece to work on for the next month’s meeting. We will also discuss possibilities of selling our jewelry as a group at the South End Open Market in 2010 and other local markets. Bring your suggestions!
