Open Studio!!! 

This months meeting will be an open studio held in Paige's Studio in Culver City.  Open Studio will start at 10:00AM.

This studio time is for getting a project started or working on any unfinished project sitting on your bench.  It can be from a workshop, masters registry, design challenge, or a birthday present that needs to get done and in the mail, all projects are welcome. 

Also, Chris Brooks will do a quick demo on a metal clay syringe tool that she is playing with, so that should be a really fun bonus demo!!

Because space is limited, RSVPs are required.
RSVPs will start March 7th and will end March 11th.  To RSVP please send an email to paige (at) paigelitfin.com.  Please give a short description of what you plan to work on and if you are hoping to have access to any special tools.

You will have full use of; the brainpower of the people around you, the metal clay supplies in the studio, and the metalsmithing supplies in the studio.

You will need to bring:
Your own hand tools (there are some at the studio but supplies are limited)
Your own metal clay, metal, beads, stones and findings...
A wonderfully friendly attitude that will allow us to work closely together
And a willingness to share your knowledge.

The studio is equipped with basic tools:  There is no rolling mill or Hydraulic press.  For a complete-ish list of tools in the studio please see The Studio post.

This should be a lot of fun and a good chance for everyone to  finally get some of those unfinished projects done and off the bench or get started on an exciting new one.  So bring a project, a bag of tools, a bag lunch, and your lovely creative self!!!
