most Saturdays Jean Sheppard's Saturday morning chat & web cam demos

On many Saturday mornings (10a-1p PST) at Polymer Clay Central (PCC) , Jean hosts a chat and does a demo. It's a great time; chatting with clay friends while watching Jean create something beautiful right before your eyes.

To participate in the chat, you need to go to the above PCC page and click on "StarGazer's ClayCam WebDemo - Saturday, 1-00pm ET". But to actually see her demo, you also need to access Jean's Yahoo Instant Messenger web cam (ID: stargazerjean. )
