Today we give you interviews with Seth Lee Saverik, Sarah Shriver, Maggie Maggio, and Maureen Carlson.

They have each told us a little about themselves, and something about the conference, which is happening next February in Baltimore, Maryland on the East Coast of the US. It promises to be an exciting event, so be sure to check out the class catalog at the NPCG's website.

Enjoy. This is a long podcast- an hour and 3 minutes. It may take a few minutes to download.

Watch today's video and see us demonstrate the use of liquid dye inks with polymer clays such as fimo, premo, sculpey, kato, and cernit.

Dye inks change the color of clay, are a little messy to work with, can be mixed into new colors, and are not the right inks to use with stamps. The color will bleed. But that quality makes them fun to use!

Listen to last week's podcast for more information about dye inks.

While at Summer CHA 2007, Ilysa and Kira met three of the polymer clay artists that we "knew" from other places- the forums at Polymer Clay Central, various places where clay, canes, and beads are sold, and Kira and Lynne Ann did a swap a while ago. It is nice to finally put faces to names. Lynne Ann and Tommie were winners in the Bottle of Hope awards, too. Enjoy, we did.

Thanks, you guys! You Rock.

For your viewing pleasure, here is part 2 of Amaco's Bottle of Hope awards, which we filmed at the Summer CHA show in Chicago.

Lisa Pavelka is the MC, and in this part of the ceremony she will announce the winners.
