A few months ago, when I heard about the pre-conference happening before NCECA, Making Through Living—Living Through Making: Studio Pottery in 2010, my thought was- ‘I have to be there’. Then I read the list of presenters and once again thought- ‘I really need to be there!’ But, the reality is that I can’t make it to NCECA this year or pre-conference. I had to make the decision between getting a kiln now, or going the Philly. The decision really wasn’t very hard to make- I want to produce more than just greenware! But I was incredibly excited to find out that pre-conference is going to be streamed live, on-line for the 2 days that it’s happening.

I hope you can tune in this week and catch some of the presenters. I have heard that highlights will be posted online after the conference. I’ll let you know as soon as I get a link to that! Enjoy! And to all of you who are going to NCECA and pre-conference, have a fantastic time. I look forward to hearing about it through everyone’s blogs and Facebook Pages. Next year…
I so VERY much wanted to go to the pre-conference! NCECA too, but especially the Making through Living – Living Through Making workshop since that is something I am really focusing on right now (making a viable living from pottery, that is). But alas, it was not to be. I also recently bought a new kiln, depleting funds for such activities. And working at a school makes it difficult to take off for a week to run off to Philadelphia. It is good to hear that they will be posting stuff on the web, though, so maybe I won’t totally miss out. Thanks for the info!
I’m in the same boat as you, moving into our new home and needing a kiln for all my greenware stacked up, thanks for the link on the streaming.
Ugh, I can’t believe I missed this.
