The purpose of our Chapter is to gather local artisans of all skill levels and interests together in a creative atmosphere to provide education, share knowledge, encourage and inspire each other, and advance our artistic development. We are an informal group dedicated to sharing our passion for all types of metal clay through good fun, food, and fellowship.

The goals of the Chapter are:

• To create an open environment where we can share ideas,
• To share technical information, tools, tricks and tips,
• To provide demonstrations with handouts,
• To provide interesting guest speakers from all aspects, and
• To provide workshops with time allowed for hands on work.

Meetings are held on the fourth Monday of every month from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the White Fox Bead Studio in Maryville, Tennessee. Members may come at 5:00 p.m. and bring a simple snack to share with the group (optional) if they would like to enjoy some social time before the meeting begins at 6:00 pm. All levels of experience are welcome.

Please be our guest the first two times you attend. If you decide to join, our annual membership dues are $25, renewable in July, which help support our Chapter's activities and programs. Please e-mail your questions to ETpmcGuild@hotmail.com.
