Well folks, I wasn't thinking ahead when I thought it would be a
good idea to put all the mugs in paper bags for the Clayart Mug
Exchange. Do you realize how much 250 paper bags weigh and
how much space they take?
I usually travel light with only a carry-on bag, but for the flight to
Indy I will be checking a suitcase with wheels, full of....paper sacks.
I'm not complaining, and I still think it will be a fun way to do
the Mug Exchange. ...and just think how much room I will have
to carry stuff I've bought on the return trip.
If we decide to do this again next year, however, I hope some local
someone from Baltimore will volunteer to bring the sacks!
Here, one last time, are the details of how the Mug Exchange will
work.
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. 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
Exchange.
The doors will open at about 6:40 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 by
6:30 Friday 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.

David, I can bring sacks if you need 'em, but
likely you already bought the sacks. If not,
though, let me know, I'll get 'em.

I don't know how much paper sacks weigh, but you may need to check. NWA
allows two suitcases to check, and one carry on and a purse(or small bag).
THE CHECKED SUITCASES CAN NOT WEIGH OVER 50 POUNDS OR THERE IS A $25 CHARGE!
See All Yall Soon,
Merrie

David
if you remind me, I'll be glad to bring bags to baltimore next year.
I'll only have to drive about 20 minutes in from the suburbs ;-)
Millie in Md. ( In Jacksonville, Fla)
finally getting around to reading my email on my lunch break, sitting
on a bench with my laptop, wearing a sun dress in the sun watching the
boats on the St Johns River and wondering why I would rather be in Indy
in the cold and snow.
