In my 'other world' as a paramedic, we must take a certain number of continuing education classes every few years in order to keep our certifications. I'm taking advantage of a visit back home to Pittsburgh, PA next weekend to stay around and attend a conference for con-ed hours at
Seven Springs. I'll take classes like "Advanced Burn Life Support" - especially useful when you're around kilns that reach 900+ degrees farenheit. (Speaking of blogs...check this one out from
Clay Arts Utah. They talk about the firing process.)
I learned recently that the Annual
NCECA Conference will also be taking place in PA in the next couple weeks. How disappointed I was to find out that it would be a week later on the
other side of the state. I can't take enough work off to swing that one. How great would it be, though, to take a workshop from some of the experienced, professional artists at this event?!? Even my instructors were jealous to think that I would get to go. I was warned to be prepared with my wallet, however.
Ah, to watch
professionals work...
