Beading Study Group
Necklaces made from rope? Yes, this was the project for the Bead Study November meeting held at the Shepard Garden. Multi-talented artist Elisa Reutinger
gave an exciting lesson on this unique form of jewelry design. Members collected beads, ribbon, and fibers from their home stashes and shared items
with the entire class. The necklaces literally had no cost to make. Fibers were wrapped around a piece of rope and this is where the fun began. Necklaces
were embellished with seed beads, charms, fringes, yarns, pendants, and coins. Each necklace was astonishing, unique and beautiful.

Surface Design & Mixed Media Group
Well another season of the SCTA Surface Design and Mixed Media Study Group has passed. The highlight of the year was the two-part reverse dying process.
This September, we began part one by removing color from black tee shirts with tying and scrunching process, then we doused the shirts with bleach.

Book Arts Study Group
Twelve bookbinding enthusiasts came together on September 24th to organize our new SCTA Book Arts Study Group. After polling the attendees and reviewing
input from several members who could not attend the meeting, we decided afternoon sessions would be best attended. After reviewing the space availabilities
for the small meeting room at the Shepard Garden Center, we have scheduled the recurring meetings to be on the third Thursdays of each month. October
will be an exception as we will meet on Wednesday, October 23rd.
