The National Polymer Clay Guild is pleased to announce that the catalog of seminars, presentations, panel discussions and special events is now available on our site, http://www.npcg.org. The main Schedule of Events page shows the entire schedule for the weekend, including our special presenters Kathleen Dustin , Jo Lauria , Carol Duvall , and Cynthia Tinappple . Panel discussions will be led by Jeffrey Lloyd Dever and Tim McCreight.

The NPCG 2008 conference is a new kind of conference for the polymer clay, metal clay, mixed media, and sculpting communities. Rather than hands-on classes aimed at teaching specific creative techniques, this conference is full of 90 minute seminars, lectures and panel discussions aimed at promoting sharing and communication between presenters and attendees alike. In addition, Synergy I will give you the opportunity to speak with teachers and collect packets of information to bring back to their local organizations, purchase supplies, tools, and finished work, network with other artists, and attend the American Craft Council show.

Registration for Synergy will begin online on October 1, 2007. Use the online catalog to plan your trip to Synergy 1: Moving Forward/Looking Back.
