Clay Ramblings: memories from Providence

4/13/2015

 
A couple weekends ago, I basically lived every ceramic enthusiast's dream, I was able to take a break from studio and go to Providence,  Rhode Island for the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts annual conference. First off Providence is beautiful, it is stuffed full of history and quirk as if each brick has a history and story to tell. I was able to ignore the dreary weather by taking many coffee breaks, yet never walking into a chain or repeating coffee shops. It is now on the list of cities I could see myself moving to someday. It was love.
Sooo NCECA.
It was Mud.
I guess I'll explain for non-ceramics people what a national ceramics convention looks like. It looks like thousands of artists, teachers and students, vibrant with personality and passion coming together to share ideas, listen to lectures, watch demonstrations by world-renowned artists and shop for the latest tool or program of study. My favorite part of the weekend was the lectures, I went to as many as I could fit into the hectic schedule. I heard fellow undergraduate Djnnaya Stroud speak about the revolution of ornamentation and how the details confront the audience in a subversive manner. I also went to many lectures on topics centered around art and education and social learning and activism, speakers ranging from the loved Chris Staley of Penn State to the lesser known Michael McCarthy of the Austin Riggs residential psychiatric center. By attending the many lectures I was able to learn about and explore topics that are relevant to my hopeful future that I would not otherwise have even considered.
When not in lectures or coffee shops, we went to exhibits associated with the conference. NCECA has a Biannual and a National Student Juried Show each year, which are the best of the best. 
Here are some pics of beauties I saw along the way.
