46. NCECA: "I was vibrating..."

Lindsey and Donte debrief after an exciting – and exhausting – experience at NCECA (the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts).Between telling stories of the people they met and the mugs they traded during the 4-day clay extravaganza, they discuss what they each wanted out of NCECA (and if they got it), what NCECA has to offer for new vs. experienced ceramic artists, what it feels like to trying to find “your people” in the clay world, gaining a new perspective on an old technique…And Donte’s mild identity crisis.If you went to the conference, what were some of your favorite memories of NCECA? If not, where are you finding your inspiration these days?
