I'm sure there will be more about it as we get closer to NCECA. Basically
it's an island of calm and cameraderie among the rush of NCECA. It's
usually open all day and in a location that invites people to drop in and
hang-out between sessions, put names to faces, show photographs, show work,
perhaps trade work, view the mugs deposited for the Clayart "Mug Sized
Thing" exchange, find someone to share a meal or what ever.

Regular clayart room events are; the Clayart "Mug Sized Thing" exchange
(also refered to as the Mug exchange) usually held the night before the
dance and the Clayart Slide Workshop (I organize this) usually on Thursday
after the Randall Session. Last year they had, on Wednesday night a Clayart
Evening which was a LOT of fun, hope they do that again. Then there are
lots of adhoc events; I remember a teapot handle demo with Shiela Clennel,
an informal glaze workshop with Ron and John.

Clayarters bring food and drink to keep the fridge stocked. I always bring
the "Belgian Weapon of Mass Destruction", Chocolate!

At some point mel will try to stick something on your chest that marks you
as a clayarter to other clayarters. "This is a good thing"

Sometimes people bring little gifts to give out; one year David brought
"Texas Mud Dauber" nests that he'd fired and made into pins and Barbara
Brown always brings cool refigerator magnets that she makes out of postage
stamps with pots on them.

I think you'll enjoy it.

Darn! NCECA should update their web site.

Maybe all us "Maiolica Queen" wannabees should get together in the
clayart room and have our own little virtual session.
