November 2009 Art Jewelry Magazine

The November '09 issue of Art Jewelry Magazine could also be referred to as 'home of the Etsy Metal Clay Team' - I flipped the first page to find the Metal Clay Guru ad featuring the work and names of team members Janice Doner, Sue Urquhart, Lorena Angulo, Teresa Swanson, Celie Fago, Lora Hart, Liz Hall and Jane Font!  I flipped six more pages and there was the ad for Whole Lotta Whismy featuring our own Jen Kahn!

And to top off the EMC Team Art Jewelry takeover - on page 62 is an article called 5 under 10 (five pieces under 10 grams of metal clay) featuring FIVE our our team members: Natasha Bouey, Liz Hall (again!), Ruth Baillie, Lis-El Crowley and Alina Gridley.

That's lucky 13 Etsy Metal Clay members featured in Art Jewelry magazine. That is one hot team!

Lots of Good News for The EMC Team

The Etsy Metal Clay Team message boards have been buzzing with good news lately. Several team members have been included in the PMC Guild Annual Volume. Congrats to Jennifer Smith Righter, Liz Hall, Lorena Angulo, Ruth Baille, CelieFago and Lora Hart for having their work included in Volume #3.

There is new website that is aimed at sharing tips and tricks on precious metal clay called Metal Clay Guru. This is wonderful website that shares insight on working with metal clay. I love the links to the video tutorials and the gallery of talented artists. If you look at that gallery of artists you will see EMC very own, Bev Gallerani, Celie Fago, Jane Font, Janice Doner, Jennifer Smith-Righter, Liz Hall, Lora Hart, Lorena Angulo, Sue Urquhart, Teresa Swanson

Lisel Crowley, of Heart of the Fire, had a lovely article written about her Studio in Windsor, CT on the online magazine Connecticut Creative. Congrats Lisel!
