As has become tradition, Axner will be hosting many authors and subjects of
various pottery-related books at NCECA. Book signing times will be
throughout the days of March 28, 29 and 30, in the Axner booth (number 6) of
the exhibition hall. The exact times that each author will be present will
be posted in the Axner booths as well as at other locations throughout the
conference. You may bring a copy of your own book or you may purchase new
books on-site at special low NCECA discount prices. Or, you are invited to
simply stop by to meet the authors and chat.
