CATCHING UP ON MY BLOG

March/April

Attending NCECA's conference (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) in Philadelphia this year was one of the best times. And of course the road trip was one of the highlights. Travelling with Barb Murphy, Heather Daymond and Terry Osborne is always good fun and good conversation, all seasoned professional potters. And meeting up with good friends Liz Willoughby and Ron Roy is a treat! The city of Philadelphia was full of gallerys showing ceramic exhibitions, and my favourite was William Daley's strong architectural vessels. The conference was full of good lectures, panel discussions, small group discussions (especially about wood-firing), a large hall of excellent distributors and I am sure the demonstrators were fine (this year I did not get to see them). Looking forward to next year in Tampa, Florida. Check out the website www.nceca.net
