#207 - Comparing clay conferences

Ryan & Becca answer a listener question they've gotten a couple times recently related to clay conferences. They share their experiences at NCECA and other regional clay conferences, especially Clay Con West. Consider researching other clay conferences in your area to get to know more of your local clay people, learn a few things, get outside of your comfort zone a bit, & explore a new city. We hope to see you at Clay Con West or NCECA in 2024!<br/><br/>Resources<br/>NCECA - Richmond, VA (2024), Salt Lake City, UT (2025)<br/>Clay Con West - Saint George, UT<br/>Alabama Clay Conference - Orange Beach, AL (2024)<br/>Indiana Clay Conference - Bloomington, IN (2023)<br/>NC Potters Conference - Seagrove, NC<br/> Canadian Clay Symposium - Burnaby, BC<br/><br/>What would you do if...<br/>a customer asks you to make an urn and you have never made one before? What circumstances would you do it?<br/><br/>Listener Questions<br/>On this episode:<br/>- I would be interested in hearing what all pottery conferences you have attended (or know of) and how they compare. I enjoy attending NCECA when I can but it can be a bit overwhelming and content is often more targeted to fine artists and instructors as opposed to studio/home potters. -Jeff Poteat @claypotzpottery<br/>- I had a question for your podcast. I went to NCECA this year and it was awesome. I am thinking of going to clay con west next year. I will probably have to pick either NCECA or CCW.
