Dear Marie and all Clay Art Participants,
I'd be glad to talk to you more about your work at the NCECA
conference in Ft. Worth. Most of my time at these conferences is spent
"one on one" with artists who have unique situations and problems with
selling their work in the marketplace. I also review student portfolios
and slides. In addition we'll have a presentation of the "Best of the
Student Niche Awards Competition". You can drop by the booth or make an
appointment ahead of time.
Best Wishes,

Wendy
