Join us for the 4th Mid-Atlantic Clay Conference in Front Royal, Va.
near beautiful Shenandoah National Park on October 4-7!
The conference is held every 2 years and features a 2-day workshop
with major artists, hands-on events, glaze and kiln doctors, slide
show, mug exchange, pottery competition and vendor areas.

This year we are excited to have Lana Wilson and Paul Dresang doing
simultaneous demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday. Friday's events
include hands-on and mini demo workshops with Debra Swauger
(thrown and altered porcelain), Ramon Camarillo(Raku), Dave Gamble
of Amaco(underglaze decoration-hands-on) and Dave Straney(Yixing
Teapot demo, followed by traditional tea ceremony). Ramon will also
throw 25 lb vessels on the wheel.

The cost is $240, and includes 3 nights/days of room and board
(3 per room at the 4-H club), a Friday night Luau and all events.
Hotel space nearby has been reserved for those who prefer those
accomodations, and day-rates for the conference are also available.
(By the way, the 4-H club dorm is really nice - it's only a few years
old, and each room had three wooden bunk beds(up to 6 people per room,
but we've generally had 3-4) and small balconies overlooking the
Shenandoah valley(which should be showing it's gorgeous Fall colors
by conference time).

Application forms can be found at Pine Ridge Pottery's web site
