clayart mug exchange at nceca

updated mon 7 mar 05

 

Billie Mitchell on sun 26 jan 03


need to know what the rules are this yr for the mug exchange at nceca.
can we bring more than one? can we bring someone elses for them? in our
pottery chat room we were having a discussion on this. some said that
others were upset that some put in more than one mug for the exchange and
we couldnt do that anymore.. some said we couldnt bring a mug for someone
else. after much debate i said i would write into clayart and find out.. we
dont want to step on toes. i know last yr that there was a discussion that
it should be mugs only and not anything else. we also discussed that.. alot
of potters dont do funtional so they would be left out. so whats the scoop?
how are is everyone doing this. someone a few days ago said someone needed
to stir things up.. so will this do it... i think it just might.

later gators

A reminder to everyone while there is still time for one last firing before
NCECA:

The 7th Annual Clayart Mug Exchange will take place in the Clayart Room
at 6:45 pm on Friday, March 19. Here are the particulars:

1. Make a mug. Actually, it does not have to be a mug, but a ceramic
object that you made and think another Clayarter would like. Since all the
pieces will be put in bags for the exchange, it must fit in a paper bag that
measures approximately 5" X 6" X 9".

2. Please place your business card or a handwritten card with your name
and contact information inside the mug. It would be wonderful if you would
include technical information about the mug, such as method of construction,
firing temperature, and glaze on the card.

3. Drop off your mug at the Clayart Hospitality room any time on Thursday
or Friday. Print your name neatly in the Mug Exchange Register, which will
be in the Clayart room.

4. Come to the Clayart room between 5:30 and 6:30 Friday and retrieve
your mug. Hand it to a Muggette on Duty and they will put it in a paper bag,
seal it, and place it on the table. You will be given a ticket for the Mug
Exchange.
The doors will open at 6:45 for the exchange. You will need your ticket to
enter the room. You will be sent to the table, where you will choose a
mug in a bag. So others may choose, please don't hang around the table after
you have your bag.

5. After everyone present has picked a mug, try to get together with both
the
person who received your mug as well as the person who made the mug
you picked. Part of the point, and fun, of the Mug Exchange is to meet
new Clayart friends.

Since there is a very well organized stay-at-home exchange, the one at
NCECA is limited to people attending NCECA, who are able to meet at 6:30
for the exchange. We find it's much more fun when you get to meet your
partner face to face. Also, only one item per person may be entered into
the exchange.

David Hendley and Cheryl Litman are organizing the Mug Exchange this
year, so contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

everyone's!

Nope. Just bring one mug.
The mention of a second mug slipped by because it was in the Mug Exchange
Instructions copied and re-posted from last year's exchange. The suggestion
was to bring another mug to donate to the NCECA Scholarship Fund Mug
Auction.
I subsequently deleted the reference, to keep from confusing people.

Of course, as always, the NCECA Scholarship Mug Auction will take place,
and it is a great place to donate a mug, look at all the mugs, and put in a
bid,
but it is totally separate and unrelated to Clayart and the Clayart Mug
Exchange.

The 7th Annual Clayart Mug Exchange will take place in the Clayart Room
at 6:45 pm on Friday, March 19.
If you haven't had the chance to participate before, it's great fun and one
of the highlights of the conference and the Clayart Room.
Here are the particulars:

1. Make a mug. Actually, it does not have to be a mug, but a ceramic
object that you made and think another Clayarter would like. Since all the
pieces will be put in bags for the exchange, it must fit in a paper bag that

2. Please place your business card or a handwritten card with your name
and contact information inside the mug. It would be wonderful if you would

firing temperature, and glaze on the card.

3. Drop off your mug at the Clayart Hospitality Room any time on Thursday
or Friday. Print your name neatly in the Mug Exchange Register, which will
be in the Clayart room. You can wait until Friday evening to bring it, but
one
of the best parts of the exchange is being able to see all the mugs and put
mugs with names.

4. Come to the Clayart room between 5:30 and 6:30 Friday and retrieve
your mug. Hand it to a Muggette on Duty and they will put it in a paper bag,
seal it, and place it on the table. You will be given a ticket for the Mug

One more reminder:

The 8th Annual Clayart Mug Exchange will take place in the Clayart Room,
at the NCECA Conference in Baltimore, just after 6:30 p.m. on Friday,
March 18.

Since there is a well organized stay-at-home exchange, the one at NCECA
is limited to people attending the conference, who are able to meet at
6:30 for the exchange. DO NOT bring mugs to the exchange for your
friends who stayed home or could not be at the Clayart Room at 6:30
Friday. We find it's much more fun when you get to meet your partner
face to face.
Also, ONLY ONE item per person may be entered into the exchange.

Here are the particulars:

1. Make a mug. Actually, it does not have to be a mug, but a ceramic
object that you made and think another Clayarter would like. Since all the
pieces will be put in bags for the exchange, it must fit in a paper bag that
measures approximately 5" X 6" X 9".

2. Please place your business card or a handwritten card with your name
and contact information inside the mug. It would be wonderful if you would
include technical information about the mug, such as method of construction,
firing temperature, and glaze on the card.

3. Drop off your mug at the Clayart Hospitality Room any time on Thursday
or Friday. Print your name neatly in the Mug Exchange Register, which
will be in the Clayart Room.We all love looking at all the mugs during the
conference, so bring your piece for this "exhibition" as early as possible.

4. Come to the Clayart room between 5:30 and 6:30 Friday and retrieve
your mug. Hand it to a Muggette on Duty and they will put it in a paper bag,
seal it, and place it on the table. You will be given a ticket for the Mug
Exchange. This time between bagging your mug and the start of the
exchange is a great and festive time to visit with all your Clayart friends.
At 6:30, the room will be cleared, and the doors will re-open just after
6:30
for the exchange. You will need your ticket to enter the room. You will be
sent to the table, where you will choose a mug in a bag. So others may
choose, please don't hang around the table after you have your bag.

5. After everyone present has picked a mug, try to get together with both

Yes, the mugs can be dropped off at any time before the exchange and they will be on display in the room. In the hour before the exchange we ask that you come back, pick up your mug, get a ticket from David and give it back to us to bundle up in a paper bag.

Can we drop the word Mug and just say it is an exchange! I have refused to
exchange because of the misleading title. Last year there was a leaf from
a table, hardly a mug!

wjskw@BELLSOUTH.NET on sun 6 mar 05


Um, no, Greg, that was NOT part of the exchange.
That was a display. It had the Tale of Ramshead Pub on it.
Lili's post earlier in the year so delighted me I took it on myself
to "create" it, and bring it to Indy. I sent it to her afterward.
The Exchange was what was on the three or four tables all joined
together.

And no, not everything is a mug. As David has been kind enough to
point out, it is whatever fits in the bag (the post is in the
archives) made by one of us, from clay. There is no mention of
whether or not mixed media is acceptable (would a teapot with a cane
handle be considered mixed media?)

If we call it simply "The Exchange", someone would probably try
exchanging their children, or a spouse. "I'll give you three place
settings and a pink lame' kiln skirt for Mel over there..."
