Just got some exciting news: I've been selected to be a demonstrator in the Process Room at the 2016 NCECA conference in Kansas City! The Process Room features artists doing 30-minute demos of building or decorating techniques - if you were in Providence you recall the room was constantly full to overflowing.
I'll be demonstrating the thrown-and-stretched butter dishes I wrote about a few years ago.
If I were in my depressed/cynical mode, I would make note that this is not a paid gig, and that it's surprising to me how many organizations are happy to ask artists to work for free, including organizations of and for artists. (*cough*Ceramics Monthly*cough* ) But hey! I applied knowing it was not paid, save for my NCECA membership, and I am damn glad to be doing it. This might be the ONE time that the exposure really is the important part.
Muddy Waters has more to say on the subject:
Congrats, Lori. I know you'll have fun and others will benefit from your demo. Glad you're thinking of how to get there!
ReplyDeletewell deserved Lori, I hope you get tons of exposure
ReplyDeleteThis is such great news! I loved all the short demos in Providence. I probably won't make it to Kansas city, but will look forward to a download of your demo!

Thanks all! Smartcat- always carry a towel is good advice generally, and especially for a potter.
