Leaving on a jet plane

Does anyone else get that song stuck in their head when they're flying somewhere? I always do...

Tomorrow at 5 am I'll be heading to the airport, off to Phoenix for the NCECA conference. I've been looking forward to this all month! Anytime I've been in a low mood I would just think of NCECA and get all giddy. It's been windy, snowing, and cold for the past couple weeks in Colorado, so I'm looking to a "spring break" in warm Arizona. I've never been there. Have you?

Here's my shopping list / things to look into:

1. Shorter wire cut-off tool

2. Throwing stool... thank you Emily for your recommendation!

3. Wedging table... I don't know if this is actually something I would buy, but I'm curious to look into it.

4. Posters to cover the ugly cement walls in my new studio (best part about these is they're free!)

5. A new favorite mug (I hope to find one I like under $30... that could be a stretch)

6. Trimming tools

7. Graduate schools, residencies, opportunites to further my education possibly starting in January...

Are you going to NCECA?

Have fun and good luck with your list! I'm missing NCECA this year because of my upcoming move- but I'm going to live vicariously through pottery bloggers blogging about the conference! You should be able to get a cup for under $30 at the cup sale- but take my advice- get there EARLY! Like 6am if you want your pick :) It's worth it!

You must be back by now (it's April 23) :] Let us know how NCECA went! I am another one who couldn't go this year, so I'd love to hear your experience.

Ah yes, indeed I am :) I'm sorry I've been neglectful of blogging. I've been trying to avoid the internet as much as possible in an attempt to be more productive in other areas - reading, drawing, cleaning, throwing... Blogging and writing articles for the Examiner.com (I'm the Denver Galleries Examiner) are on my to-do list today.
