    The Creative Metal Arts Guild, based in Portland, Oregon, is a
    non-profit organization which exists to create a community for
    metalsmiths, jewelers and metal artists by facilitating
    communication, providing information and benefits, promoting a
    positive image of the creative metal artist and increasing public
    awareness of the artist's contribution to the community. We are
    initiating an educational outreach program which we will use to
    teach a little bit of jewelry technique and history to small informal
    groups at places like high schools or churches. Our class will be in
    the form of a "kit" that any CMAG member will be able check out and
    present to a group. We are soliciting donations of beads, wire and
    tools to help us with this project. If you have any old supplies you
    would like to get rid of, please consider donating them to our guild.
    Here is what we need: *Pliers - round nose, flat nose, beading, chain
    nose, cutters, etc. *Findings - ear wires, clasps, etc. *Wire -
    copper, brass, bronze, silver, colored copper; any gauge *Beads -
    anything from seed beads to bigger beads 

    Thank you! 

    You can contact me off-list if you want to donate or have questions,
    Thanks! Margaret Frison (CMAG and multi-year Orchid member)
