HI...
I'm usually just a lurker here on the list.. I love the info and =
discussion=21=21=21
You all are wonderful and make me feel like I am doing something important =
in my
struggles and successes with clay and firing.

I am going to NCECA this year for my first time=21 I am going with two =
other
people. One that owns the studio I manage and one that works there also. =
I
am so looking forward to this.. I have studied last years program to get an =
idea
of what happens.

I would appreciate any advice on how to make the best of this. I would =
also
like to start discussion with others that will be there so we can meet with =
a
little bit of knowledge about each other. Please email me on or off =
list=21=21

Just a little info about me....

I (we) Raku' once a week and I hi-fire redux a MFT 2-4 times a month. I =
would
say that I have been working in clay full time for about 1 1/2 years... (so =
I am

from
the Universty of Arizona 1994. I handbuild, and am learning to throw
functionalware. (I am just about to leave the heavy bottom club=21). I am
avidly researching and testing glazes. I also occasionally trashcan fire.

I work at a studio on a private 5 acre estate in the desert. The weather =
here

>From a lurker and occasional poster:

I just got my registration confirmation for NCECA in the mail yesterday. =
This will be my second NCECA--the first was Las Vegas when I was still =
a student. I must admit to feeling somewhat overwhelmed by it =
all--especially because I didn't know anyone except Pete Pinnell (a =
long-time friend, former dorm-mate from our college days in the early =
1970s during my first college career). Clayart was a brand new thing =
for me and I had to miss the Clayart Breakfast due to a breakfast =
"debriefing" session with my ceramics prof and classmates.

Am I looking forward to this year's NCECA? You bet! I look forward to =
meeting as many of you as possible during the two days (Thursday and =
Friday) I will be attending--especially those of you with whom I have =
had the pleasure corresponding with either through this forum or =
directly.

See you there!

Ride/Room share is not really an option, for a number of reasons, but if you
would like to connect with another Ohio potter, perhaps we could have
coffee while there... This will be my 4th NCECA... I only hope that I make it
out of the clayart room for a little while this time around...

You'll have a great time, and the clayart room is a real asset... you'll meet
people whose posts you've seen, and have an opportunity to buy more
clay tools and pottery equipment than you would have thought possible...
some of it can even be ride tested there at the conference... (I got to try
my little micro-wheel before I bought... :)

I hope you're able to make it, and if I'd known you when we were making
our plans, the ride/room share might have been an option... at this point,
the room is at max occupancy, and the vehicle is probably overloaded
on the trip there, not sure what we'll do if anyone gets big eyes for studio
equipment...

Hope to see you there.

Andi.
