NCECA 2009

This past week in Phoenix, AZ, the 43 Annual Conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) was held. In conjunction with the conference, many of the galleries, museums, and universities in Phoenix and the surrounding towns hosted ceramic exhibitions. I was there as a representative of the Appalachian Center for Craft. Vince Pitelka, head of ceramics, and I sat at the table in the Exhibitor's Hall passing out pamphlets and workshop catalogs, seeing old friends, and making new ones. I did manage to sit in on a few panel discussions on installation art and promoting your work on Friday afternoon. In the evenings, I was able to see a few exhibits, have dinner with friends, and walk around downtown Phoenix. For more information on this, past, and future NCECAs visit www.nceca.net.
