If you've been debating about registering for the event, debate no longer! There are still spaces left, albeit not too many, and the Hilton Indian Lakes Resort has offered to extend our special room rate of $99 per night plus tax.

There are going to be plenty of great activities in addition to 3+ days of polymer clay fun, guest artist Christi Friesen, demonstrations, a raffle, shopping with Polymer Clay Express, and an art auction at the closing night dinner.
