Selected tidbits from NCECA- National council on Education for the Ceramic Arts

Returned home from a visually packed adventure in Tampa, FL.  NCECA had their 45th annual conference and this was the first time I attended.  WOW! Lots of pottery, demos and information to spark the creativity.   After a 4 hour drive into Tampa/St. Petersburg,  (and after the 12 hour drive the day before) Judy and I spent the first day exploring the various exhibits that were within walking distance of

the conference center.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a few of the ceramic works seen at the various exhibits:

Of course, the cup sale….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We visited the St. Petersburg Museum of History–along with the ceramic exhibit I was taken by the two-headed calf (lived for 6 weeks) and the Egyptian mummy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A St. Petersburg artist, Paul Eppling, created extraordinary works of art from salvaged metals.

I saw an old friend from 20 years ago….

Lots of demos, lectures and vendor booths to look at….it was good to have a little down time on the beach before heading home!
