What could be better than NCECA, you ask? How ’bout NCECA and a fabulous pre-conference…hosted this year by Michael Connelly and Alleghany Meadows at Montgomery County Community College, just outside of Philadelphia. The 2-day warm-up to our national conference was just what I needed to get in the mood…Making Through Living, Living Through Making brought together an intimate group of about 100 or more clay enthusiasts — primarily working potters — to generate and discuss ideas about sustaining our creative process in a changing economy. I had an excellent time working alongside clay super-stars Ron Meyers, Ellen Shankin, and Andy Brayman — here’s a little peek at us doing our thing – wish you were here!
p.s. you can see up-close shots of each of us, plus the panel discussions and other activities, at the super-slick web page of Dave Thomas — thanks, Dave!
And!!! It was very slick to have it streaming so those of us who couldn’t get there could eavesdrop!!! Though I could only catch the first day it was still great to see you work. Thanks Christa and thanks to everyone who put it together.

The streaming was slick… I inadvertently glued to myself to my screen for a few hours Tuesday watching the four of you playing onstage. Fantastic job!
