I haven't begun to search for the Tampa sites which NCECA will bring out...their shuttle busses are going far and wide...and I'm not on a bus, I'm in my car. I may not go as far as Gainesville. I'll try to take pictures...you know me! I dare say North Carolina will be a bit lighter this week because so many potters are in Florida!

Exhibitions
Exhibitions are the bridge between ceramic makers and the viewing public. This vital aspect of our organization and annual conference speaks to our mission of advancing the ceramic arts and educating our communities through dynamic personal interaction with ceramics in exhibitions that encompass the full spectrum of ceramic art. To further increase public awareness and appreciation of the ceramic arts, as well as instigate critical investigation and dialogue, NCECA sponsors two exhibitions in conjunction with each annual conference and helps place dozens of concurrent independent exhibitions featuring ceramics in the conference host community.
Some of the places of interest to me are...

St. Pete Clay Company
Also in St. Petersburg, FL is a wonderful site where clay is worked and sold, and a Highwater Clay store is also housed. (For those of us around Asheville, it is much smaller than the store we are used to, but still a great source for clay supplies)
