Dear Clayarters,
I have been reading the posts about NCECA with interest. It is
fascinating to see the variety of experiences. Now that things have
quietened down a little, I want to say how great it was to meet so many of
the people who have made my time with Clayart very meaningful. I wish I had
met all of you( now that is really ambitious!), but there were some I
missed and others with whom I barely exchanged a few words. I wish there
had been more time. Yet, I feel I cemented some online friendships and made
new friends, and that was the most meaningful part of NCECA for me.
I would like to thank Mel, Joyce and everyone else who made the
Clayart Room such a wonderful venue for us all to relax and get together.
The mug exchange was a delight. What beautiful work. The slide show was a
real eye opener, and very educational. Thank you Russel for organizing the
show.
I missed a lot of events I would have liked to have attended. But,
I did come to realize my limiations. Hopefully, if I ever get a chance to
attend another NCECA, I will plan ahead and get to see and hear more.
Do I have any regrets about going? Nary a one. I would not have
missed this for anything. I will be basking in the aftermath of so much
warmth and sharing for weeks to come.
I am particularly lucky in that my Clayart experience continued on
my return to Virginia, because Russel is here and gave a workshop at the
Lee Arts Center in Arlington. He is wonderful, and I not only learned a
lot, but he has opened new doors for experimentation. We were all
fascinated. If he is ever giving a workshop to which you can go, don't miss
it!
My thanks and warm regards to all.
Veena
