This is a little last minute, but I just realized there may be clayart
members in the central/southwest Ohio area who would want to attend this
Clay Symposium:
(It looks like you'll get your money's worth!)

Sat. Jan 14, the Springfield (Ohio)Museum of Art is hosting "TWO MEDIA/TWO
EXPRESSIONS A Symposium and Exhibition of Contemporary Clay and Glass."

Cost is $75 which includes lunch and the Opening Reception (a cash bar
will be provided.)

Key Note Speaker Bill Hunt, former editor of CM will give a comprehensive
lecture on contemporary ceramics.

There will be 3 clay artists and 3 glass artists giving demos in Open Door
Workshops. The clay artists are:

Juliellen Byrne- http://www.amusegallery.com/byrne.htm
Todd Camp- http://www.toddcampstudios.com/pages/4/index.htm
(didn't ask who the glass artists are.)

Sherrie Hawk, guest curator, will lead a gallery tour of the exhibition
and explain her thought process on choosing the various pieces she decided
upon.

There will be a panel discussion including reknown artist Paul Stankard

Bill Hunt will then give a potters wheel demo and auction of his work, and

possible so she has an idea of how much food will be needed.
