The NCECA 2012 NSJE is open to all full-time undergraduate, graduate and post-baccalaureate students (as defined by their home institution) enrolled in the United States of America.

Topical Discussions and NCECA Connections are the break-out sessions on Thursday and Friday afternoons during conference. http://www.nceca.net/static/conference_topics.php Weather or Not: DEADLINE October 1, 2011
Seattle artist and Host Committee Member, Charlie Bigger is excited to announce Weather or Not, a site-specific, outdoor installation opportunity at South Lake Union Park in Seattle to coincide with the 2012 conference. Weather-Or-Not presents an opportunity for students and teachers to explore the EDGY artistic avenue of collaborative installations affected by time and weather. E-mail a one-page description of your project to [email protected]. Additional information and collaborative proposal requirements are detailed in Charlie’s downloadable letter here: http://nceca.net/static/documents/Weather-or-Not.doc. Charlie shares that his excitement and imagination around this event is sparked by two elements. “The first is the theme…the theme for NCECA 2012…”On The Edge” immediately grabbed my attention and fired up my imagination. Secondly, being interested in the history of the studio movement in Ceramics, a concern among my peers in the ceramics world deals with a perception that younger clay workers seem to be less numerous than a few years back. I am looking forward to being able, through NCECA, to provide this great venue to share and explore new ideas, and experiments with up and coming young ceramics students that might not otherwise realize that NCECA is also for them, not just established studio artists of my generation.” On-Site Conference Liaison, Marge Levy writes that through Weather-Or-Not, “we hope to capture the inclinations of those who are in a period of their artistic lives where they are thinking about process, objects, ephemeral notions, and having fun with it all and with each other. ”
