Special Notes

We actively collaborate with other local arts groups, including but not limited to: Three Rivers Glass Beadmakers, Pittsburgh Polymer Clay Guild, the Pittsburgh Book Arts Group, etc.

We hold some of our sessions in local art centers and bead shops, and encourage our hosts to invite their clientele to join us for relevant topics.

We have a couple dozen core members but our collaborations mean that many more creative local people participate our activities each year.

We help the Society for Contemprary Craft to host Rio Rewards Certification classes. We had two offered by Tim McCreight in 2010 (in January and June), and will have one by Terry Kovalcik in April 2011.

Some visiting Artists we have brought in or will soon be hosting to help us enrich our skills include:
  • August 2009: Barbara Becker Simon (Metal Clay and Glass; Hollow Wedge Beads)
  • August 2009: Debra Weld (PrismaColors; CopprClay)
  • January 2010: Tim McCreight (PMC & Color)
  • June 2010: Tim McCreight (Mold-making for PMC).
  • March 2011: Hadar Jacobson (Base-Metal Clays)
  • April 2011: Terry Kovalcik (Hinged Box decorated with PMC Paste)
