NCECA (National Council on Education for the
Ceramic Arts) 2006 Conference is in Portland,
Oregon, March 8-11, 2006. This is the major annual
clay gathering in the USA and it doesn’t get up to
the Pacific Northwest too often. I hear it’s well
worth the trip and it’s amazing to see thousands of
clay enthusiasts at one place.

To enhance your trip experience and also to help
defer the cost of the conference/trip, the Oregon
Potters Association has invited members of our
Guild to stay in the homes of members of the OPA.
March 2006 will be here before you know it, so
begin your planning and start making arrangements
if you wish to attend the conference and/or stay with
fellow potters in Oregon.

2006 Conference Portland, Oregon, March 8-11, 2006

We are thinking that it would be nice to have all
requests for lodging in before the end of January so
that the coordinator can make all the arrangements
with the hosts. I think it will be a great opportunity
to widen contacts in our northwest clay community.
E-mail is the simplest, although some paper and post
will do nicely as well.

I have the initial contact as Ginger Steele, but there
will likely be a coordinator designated to handle this.
We'll also pass this along when available.
