Upcoming Events

Evening Workshops:  Tonight the eight-week evening workshops come to an end.  We will have potluck and ohh and ahh over the finished work.  This is my favorite part of the workshop, when the students see the rewards of their hard work.  I am so proud of them. 

NCECA:  Next week, March 31-April 3 I, along with several thousand other ceramics professionals, professors, students, hobbyists, wholesalers, and enthusiasts will descend on Philadelphia, PA for the Annual National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts Conference.  The city's galleries, store fronts, coffee shops, etc. will be filled with ceramic art.  In addition to all the art on display, the conference center will host demonstrations, lectures, panel discussions, video screenings, and a huge room filled with vendors, schools, and non-profits.  Throughout the conference an atmosphere similar to a family reunion will prevail as old relationships are renewed and new ones are made.  I can't wait!

AIR Opening:  Just a reminder that applications for the Clay Artist-in-Residence position are due at the Craft Center April 1, 2010.  You can find the particulars here.  It is a great job in a beautiful place.

Summer Workshops:  The Appalachian Center for Craft has released their Summer Workshop Calendar.
They have a new schedule for this Summer.  In May the workshops are weekends (Fri-Sun) only.  They will be taught by Marc Barr, Nancy Jacobsohn, myself, and Susan Smith.  June will be a three-week intensive that can be taken for college credit.  In clay, Suze Lindsay will be teaching! July will consist of three one-week (Sun-Fri) workshops featuring classes taught by Gay Smith, Kristen Kieffer, and Aaron Lee Benson.  I hope you can join us for a lot of workshop fun.
