NCECA celebrates 50 years of clay, learning and connection in 2016.
To foster a sense of community and show links to how our members connect
people and ceramics, on this occasion, we have invited Michael Strand
and Namita Wiggers to create Across the Table, Across the Land.
Because we also set a gorgeous table in this community, food and the
table serve as a link to bring it all together. NCECA feels that the
table is a literal space – and an idea – and we want to hear your
stories.
To do this, the curators have developed a web app to make it easy to research how NCECA connects Across the Table and Across the Land.
NCECA is calling on you to participate by sharing projects or taking on the K12 Challenge. We invite responses in the form of your images and your words. This is a collection of your stories. All materials entered into the Across the Table web app become part of this celebratory project.
Michael and Namita are developing this online archive to document
what NCECA members are working on right now. From this archive, our
guest curators will create an exhibition for the Charlotte Street
Foundation in Kansas City, Missouri in conjunction with Makers, Mentors and Milestones, the March 2016 NCECA Conference.
