Tell a story in clay
Each of these talented artists tells us a personal story in clay. Each
presenter treats the surface in a unique manner, and will share their
surface techniques with YOU over the two-day conference. Explore the
possibilities with surfaces by combining new techniques to what you
already know. Come and find out how to tell your narrative in clay.

This conference is open to artists at all levels: from enthusiastic
amateur, to the teacher, and for the professional. No matter what level
you are, if you’re open to learning and connecting with other ceramic
