glazenerd Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Now that I have mostly retired, I plan on going as long as it does not cut into my recliner time. KC is only 3.5 hours from me, would enjoy meeting some of my fellow OCD (occupational ceramic diversions) artists. Need to contact Glenn as well, would like to hear his thoughts on clay formulation.

flowerdry Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I had planned on going, but then unwittingly booked a cruise for the same dates. (Smacks forehead with palm of hand.) I love KC! Anybody know where it will be in 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 2017 is Portland, Ore. best, .................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazenerd Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 New to the forum, so it I get to ask stupid questions. Link to event, event location (besides KC), fees.. etc? Glaze Nerd. Realize it takes money to organize, pay for space, etc,. so I would expect to pay fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 http://nceca.net It is the 50th Anniversary of this organization and it will be extra special. I have attended 45 or so. Started going in 1971. I hate to miss one. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Glazenerd, Both Michael Katz and (in particular) William Carty will be presenters at this NCECA conference. I would venture to guess that those will be sessions that you would be VERY interested in. best, .............john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evelyne Schoenmann Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I will be there! I will give a short (well, actually very short 6.30 minute) lecture at the Blinc 20/20 event. I hope you all will come to support me Don't know the date and time yet. Will keep you in the loop... Evelyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazenerd Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Ty Marcia and John- most helpful. As it turns out my supplier already has booth space reserved. Looking forward to meeting people, been working and studying on my own for the last five years. "here on Glazeland island: --- which only means something to the children of the sixties.

Guest JBaymore Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 By request, I have "pinned" this topic to the top of the forum section so that it will remain there until NCECA happens. I also added a date to the title line to make sure it is not confusing. best, .................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekah Krieger Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I would love to. Not sure if I will have the funds to attend this year. I am finishing up on my real estate license and I would need to get listings and sell very fast to be able to go.

Mark C. Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Now Portland makes more sense only 8 hours one way What are the 2017 dates.? That may be my 1st year show dates are a non conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy miller Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Going! Looking forward to the 50th anniversary of NCECA! Shows look great as do the lectures. Hoping more potters fit in a lecture hall than last year in Providence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hoping more potters fit in a lecture hall than last year in Providence. It is SO hard for the NCECA folks to out-guess the attendance at the various offerings. (Without going to a pre-registration system... which would be a nightmare!) At the "teabowl" lecture I did at the Providence NCECA, I had people standing along the back and in the doorway. Who could have guessed that (in America) 800+ people cared enough about the hair-splitting differences between generic "teabowls" and Chawan for actual Tea Ceremony???? I know it surprised me at the level of attendance. I've been in other presentations that I thought, because of the topic, would have lots of people, and the 750 seat halls had maybne 100 people in it. I don't think there is a way to solve that issue that works. Other than if a particular presentation is really important to someone.... show up very early. best, ....................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I just registered for the early bird discount. I got my hotel reservation months ago. Rooms go fast. Already excited.There are some great pre-conconference programs. Check out the website http://www.nceca.net Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy miller Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi John, thanks. I know the logistics must be a nightmare and no there is no easy answer. Also great to hear your lecture was standing room only! I did write to Cynthia. It was just very frustrating when you could only stand in the hall and have the Fire Marshall move you along, repeatedly. To show up 15-30 minutes early and not get in the entire first day and partial second day was not good. The other lecture I ran to; Where to find potassium for glazes. Was cancelled. It worked out because several others were standing there and it started up a pretty good conversation in the hall. Ended up at Chris Gustins studio and gallery and that was great. So not always what you think you're going to get but have never walked away from Nceca without great information, gifts and pots! Looking forward to this one too!

Steven Branfman Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 John's talk was amazing. If you missed it, shame on you. I was one of the lucky ones sitting at the front. He's absolutely right about it being so hard to predict how many people will be attracted to specific lectures and panels. BTW: Don't miss ClayStories 2016!!!!! http://www.claystories.org/ (Shameless self promotion!) best to all, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Met TJR at John's lecture. . . much more than a talk to me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Presentation was relaxed and informative, professional yet personal, and in the end I learned a lot about Chowan and Japanese tea bowls. best, PRes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
