Clay Daze!

What a whirlwind! The time has flown and we're already starting Day 3 of Clay Daze. We decided to take a low key "Island Time" approach to this event and there are no scheduled demos or workshops. It's a happy gathering of friends who share a passion for polymer clay. We're all focused on own own projects but there's constant visiting, sharing, problem solving, epiphanies and inspiration! Tina couldn't make it to Clay Daze but she's joined us online! Our venue is the RCMP Mess Hall which sort of explains The Bison.

We've taken breaks here and there to explore some fun places to shop, eat, and drink! We even managed to find 10 seats all together in a very busy Saturday night in Spinnakers Brew Pub!
We have 28 items in the Silent Auction for Haiti... there are some well-seasoned e-Bayers in this crowd who use the sniper plan of attack so I have a feeling elbow pads and helmets may be required this morning as the deadline for the auction draws near.

CLAY DAZE - Silent Auction for Haitian Earthquake Relief

Members of the Vancouver Island and Vancouver Polymer clay groups are invited to donate and bid on items for our silent auction whether you are attending Clay Daze or not. If you can't make it to Clay Daze you are welcome to email gera with a confidential reserve bid for any item- with luck you may be able to outbid Clay Daze attendees! Payment including shipping if required may be made through PayPal . You may also have a friend proxy-bid for you at the event but they will need a cheque or cash as payment for second-party purchases must be made immediately after the auction.

We regret that The Auction is for members of the Vancouver Island and Vancouver area Polymer Clay Groups only. Check this site frequently as we hope that new items will be added daily!
