AMACO and STAEDTLER, Inc. are proud to announce the joint sponsorship of the latest in a series of designer challenges to support “Bottles of Hope,” a grassroots national polymer clay craft movement. This movement seeks to increase awareness about charities and hospitals that deliver services to people living with cancer, through the distribution of decorated bottles (once used in chemotherapy) to patients and their families.

There is still time to get in on this great designer challenge, deadline for entries is January 12th! All mini-bottles created for “Hope on a Rope Designers Challenge” will be gifted to cancer patients and their families.

Requirements: Each mini bottle must be decorated with Fimo® Soft or Fimo® Classic clays with a minimum of 10 beads hand-rolled with any AMACO Bead Roller™. Mixed media adornment is strongly encouraged, but the beads and bottle embellishment must be 80% clay. Finished pieces should be created with kids in mind. The entire necklace length does not have to be beaded.

Categories: Winning entries will be selected for the following Categories: Best Expression of Hope, Best Use of FIMO®, Best Use of Bead Rollers™, and Best of Show to be chosen by editors from an on-line gallery at amaco.com; and People’s Choice (to be chosen by attendees at CHA).
