Nottingham Arts on sat 14 jan 06
Well what I do is rent a van for the conference.
I've found that there are often problems with the shuttles and I like
having the freedom to go to whatever shows I want to see and come and go
as I like.
At every NCECA I link up with folks both before and during the
conference. Ya never know what will happen. But the link ups always do
happen and then we have a group. Then we go see the shows we want to see
rather than the shows on a particular route for the shuttles.
For me; each NCECA is allways a different affair. Sometimes it is the
lecture/ seminars, sometimes it is the hall for distribtors, sometimes
it is a mix of them all. I just go with the flow and don't worry about
what I may have missed in favor of what I am expiriencing.
A case in point is the NCECA in No. Carolina. I hooked up with Linda
Blossom , Russel Fouts, and Carla Flati. We spent most of the conference
touring ceramic shows all over the state and had a wonderfull time.
Missed most of the "conference" . So what; had a fantastic time with
these folks that I wouldn't trade for any conference.
NCECA is a huge potporie of ceramics information and ceramists. You can
not possibly see and expirience it all. My advice is to view it as a
wonderfull vacation and go with the flow. Get there early and stay a few
days after. Stay loose amd be open to serendipity.
It may just lead you into expiriences and new friendships.
See you all in Portland.
