2010 Convention Seminars

NDPCS Activities on Saturday at the Hughes Fine Arts Center

Registration and delivery of consignment pieces for the auction continued Saturday morning at the Hughes Fine Art Center while numerous demonstrations and exhibitions were available for the conference participants.  Ongoing displays included works by contemporary visiting artists, Cable pottery and a large number of early American salt stoneware pieces from the James Carley collection. 

 Brian Fricke and Clint Frey took turns throwing on electric wheels, while Hope Clore and Robbi Spencer showed examples of their work and demonstrated their own personal styles of hand building.  Robbi was also firing an atmospheric soda kiln out in the new kiln yard.  The spitting, popping and smoke during the soda firing was surpassed only by the smoke and heat of the raku kiln firing Wes Smith produced on the patio outside the ceramics kiln room.  Box lunch was served and the Annual Potter’s Show and Competition was held in the Myers Fine Art Gallery. The compact location of the shows, demonstrations and auction made for a convenient, accessible, educational and fun packed day. (Pictures supplied by Pam Hartman)
