Update.

Last Wednesday at our meeting we had an awesome alternative color on metal demo by Jenn. She showed us how to use the bead blaster and how the use of oil paint, pastels, prismacolor colored pencils, and media typically used on paper or canvas can be applied to metal surfaces.

Also, keep in mind that the deadline for applying to Holiday Heap is quickly approaching, so please get any and all images you have of your work to Johanna Haydon. Her email address is jhaydo1@towson.edu.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 14th at 6pm in CA2015. Once again, we will have pizza and there will be another demo. This time Jenn will demo mechanisms.

Club Budget, New Tools!

Attention All Members!
For all of the members of the T.U. Metals and Jewelry Club, I am currently writing the budget for the spring semester. Part of making the budget is deciding on what tools/equipment we would like to ask for. If you have any suggestions about what you would like to have added to our tool cabinet please let me know. You may contact me at my email: sshawv1@towson.edu. Generally we order from the RIO catalog, feel free to browse and send me suggestions.
Thanks!
-Sherri Shawver
Treasurer.

Also, we're going to be standardizing all of our meeting times this semester!!! So mark your calenders!! We will meet every 2nd Tuesday and 4th Wednesday of each month at 6pm! Also, there will be a demo at every meeting!! I'll be putting the demo schedule up on the blog later this week, so be sure to check back!
Plans for this semester include sales where you can submit your own work. Holiday Heap is coming up in November and we have to apply this month. So if you have some work, join the club, and put it in the sale!!
We are also doing a canned food drive. All cans should be placed in the box that is in 2015 below our board.
There are so many benefits to joining our club! For one, sitting sales and selling work in our sales is a great experience. Also, we have an advanced tool cabinet that we went through last night that is filled with tons of brand new, really great tools! For you beginners out there, we also have the beginner's bench that is filled with all the necessities for beginning classes.
JOIN!!! If you want to be a member of the Metals and Jewelry Club, our dues are only $15 a semester! These dues are payable (cash/check) only to Sherri and you can only pay for one semester at a time. Checks should be made out to Towson University. Also, we have really cute aprons (in green and black) that are only $15 as well!
