November Meeting
November 4, 2019 – Speaker - Erin Gerlach from Aves Studio
Erin Gerlach is the Resident Artist and Sales & Marketing Director at Aves Studio LLC,
a Self Hardening Clay company out of Hudson WI
Erin’s family owns and operates Aves Studio, so clay was naturally always part of her life. She remembers creating small pieces of doll furniture and animal sculptures often as a child. Her passion for creating lead her to an education in Graphics and Marketing. It was not until later in life that she fell into the role of resident artist and started teaching workshops with clay. Her most recent accomplishment has been appearing as a guest artist on the PBS show of Make it Artsy with her mixed media approach to upcycling and repurposing art work. Living in Hudson WI with her Husband, 3 kids and a dog, when she is not creating she enjoys the outdoors and spending time with her family.

Great way for UMBS to earn income for our Education Fund!!!
And it's FREE for the user!
Have you checked out GOODSEARCH.COM?
Goodsearch.com is an internet search engine, similar to Google. There is one BIG difference. Goodsearch donates one cent, to the group of your choice, for every search! No strings attached.
I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve raised over $15 for UMBS (and I don’t always remember to use it).
UMBS is a registered group on Goodsearch. When you go to the Goodsearch.com website you can register and designate UMBS as your designated organization and start the donations with your first search.
All profits from Goodsearch are put in the Education Fund of UMBS.
If each of our members joined Goodsearch – even part of the time – think about the money we can raise for classes, workshops, etc.!
GIVE IT A TRY!
