You knew it was coming. ;-)
I'm planning to have it, as always on the Thursday night, after the
Randall Session. Generally we try to have it in the Clayart Room but it
hasn't always worked out. If the location changes we will do our best to
get the info out. Even with last minute venue changes, the workshop has
always been well attended, so I think we've managed pretty well here.
I would like the workshop to have a different focus this year. Many
people commented last year that the quality of the slides has improved
greatly since the first one. This is good, we've all done our job well
and we have a lot of people to thank.
A number of you have sent in either written or photographic examples of
your "shooting" setup. Michael Coffee and John Hesselberth come to mind.
I've already talked to John but he's already over commited for this
NCECA and unfortunatly won't be able to bring his.
I would like some of you to volunteer to bring your "rig" to NCECA and
demo it for the clayarters. Show how it's set up, how to arrange the
lights, the backdrop, etc.
I'm looking for 2 or 3 people. We'll set each up in a corner of the room
and run it like the "Tool Doctors" workshop several years ago. The demos
would be simultaneous and clayarters could move from demo to demo ask
questions and maybe even try them out.
I think people will be interested in both professional and "amateur" set
ups so let's see what turns up.
Clayarters are hands on people and I think this would really be a
benefit and a lot of fun.
If people need to ship equipment, I have family in Indy and perhaps they
could receive the "goods". That way you wouldn't have to bring it on the
plane if that was your only means. Hopefully, we'll get volunteers that
can drive their setups to NCECA.
I'm sure we can arrange tables for you to set up on so you wouldn't have
to bring those.
In addition to the 2 or 3 demonstrators, if someone wanted to bring and
demo some nifty accessory, like the Lite Cube currently being discussed,
that would be great.
Any way, there it is. The idea isn't completely worked out yet but let's
see if we get some bites.
I look forward to hearing from you.

The offer of having things sent to somewhere in Indy goes for me, too - if
anyone needs to ship anything, I can receive and hold it for you 'til you
get here. Please contact me off-list for my address.
