NCECA 2013 – 47th Annual Conference

Houston, Texas

THE THEME: Earth/Energy
Ceramics and Ceramic Process bring together two essential elements:
EARTH and ENERGY. The theme of NCECA’s 2013 Conference in Houston,
Earth/Energy pays tribute to the places we live and create, the
materials we use, and the ENERGY that drives our process as ceramic
artists, educators and enthusiasts.

The ENERGY of creation and transformation culminates in work
with ENERGIZED forms and surfaces, work that ENERGIZES space and
ultimately this ENERGIZES our imaginations.
New ENERGY sources and innovations may result in work that is
EARTH friendly and, in this global era, we often aim to make work that
is EARTH conscious.

panels and topical discussions that explore the synthesis and
multi-faceted nature Earth/Energy may inspire, as well as proposals that
