I have just joined ClayArt, although I enjoyed the archives for some time.
I will be attending my first NCECA conference and I have some questions.
1. The Cup Exchange - all I can find is a cup sale fundraiser. Is the cup
exchange just a Clayart thing or is the fundraiser the "cup exchange"?
2. What is "The Randall Session" and who/what are The Urban Bushwomen?
3. Are ceramics supplies for sale by vendors or just exhibited? In other
words, should I bring lots of $$$?
4. Is the catalog just a written listing of ceramic work on exhibit or does
it contain photos?
5. I use a walker so I need to plan my time and energy. Thank heaven my
upper body is still working, my brain I am not so sure of. What are some of
the lectures, demos etc. that, in your opinion, are things I won't want to
miss.
I am a quasi-studio/hobby potter that is still taking classes at a local
community college and Baltimore Clayworks. I just started pottery 3 yrs ago
and have also been bitten hard. There seems to be a fine line between this
hobby and mental illness. Maybe that is why some glazes contain lithium.
I have been impressed with how freely you all seem to share your knowledge.
The archives are a treasure trove of information. Thank you.

I used to have a checklist of things for the conference. Don't know
where it went. I will try to reassemble it here:
Remember:
Cups for Clayart Exchange.
and cups for NCECA cup sale
Business cards
Images of your work.
Extra Postcards with images or other things to put on Free Tables
Money for purchases and room in luggage for them
Empty tube for putting posters into
Snacks
Notebook and writing implements
Camera
Pictures of family.
Ham Radio and local repeater directory.
FRS Radios
MAterails for any presentations you are doing. Its usually a pain to
Xerox at the conference and expensive. Easy to check luggage at the
airport
Wear a shirt or hat that identifies you as a clayer when you travel.
Promotional materials for your school.
Comfortable walking shoes.
Comfortable dancing shoes.
Medicines
Clothes
Wallet,
Airline ticket hotel reservation, names, contacts. etc.
Rest before the conference.
