Headed to NCECA Philadelphia 2010

I'm leaving tomorrow for Philadelphia, PA and my first NCECA conference (National Council on the Education for Ceramic Arts)! I can hardly imagine 5000 ceramic artists all in the same city! Very exciting!

If you're going to be there, be sure to stop by the following exhibits...

Off the Wheel: A Showcase of Slab-built Pots for the Table and Home.

Featuring Benjamin Carter, Sam Chung, Marc Digeros, Allison McGowan, Chris Pickett, Sandi Pierantozzi, Cheyenne Chapman Rudolph, Amy Scher, Liz Zlot Summerfield.
My good friend and professional potter, Cheyenne Chapman Rudolph also curated this exhibit. I'm so proud of her!
