Hi Heather, Thanks for your wonderful post. I am truly blessed to be a member of the Rhode Island polymer clay guild, a group of talented, sharing, inspirational women. We meet once a month to share stories, new projects, demos and delicious food!

I’m interested in joining a local guild, in the Richmond, VA area, but I can’t figure out how to tell if there is a guild here or not. I must be missing something on the IPCA website. 🙁
Hi Mary! I had a look at the IPCA site as well and it’s a bit confusing – there’s a Northern Virginia guild but I don’t see any contact info for it.
I would actually contact the guild liason Kathi (sweet lady!) and ask for help – http://www.theipca.org/index.php/component/contact/?task=view&contact_id=24
or post on the forum board at polymer clay central and see who else is from the area and if there is an established guild for the area.
