WCA DC Networking Day, April 5th
Below is the registration from for the 2008 networking day that the WCA of Greater Washington DC hosts. When I was a member of the Philadelphia Chapter I knew many women that looked forward to it each year and carpooled down for the weekend. We would have much farther to travel but the invitation has been extended us, if anyone would like to go. This year's presentations are centered on the theme, "Art & Your Audience: Maximizing the Artist-Gallery Relationship".
I converted the pdf registration form to a jpeg so I could post it here, it will print, a little fuzzy however. If you'd like the pdf, just email wcacharleston@yahoo.com

Events this week at Cone 10 Studios & Plum Elements -from member Betsey Carter
I want to let you all know about two exciting clay events on December 4 and December 7, co-sponsored by Cone 10 Studios and Plum Elements.
We are having a rare potter guest from Japan in town soon. She is from a porcelain mecca in Japan and a trained master potter. She is part of a very old gas kiln there which is being highfired, very similar to what we do. She is having an exhibit in conjunction with her husband's work at the store Plum Elements on King St. You all may have met the owner Andrea Schenck at some of our openings at Cone 10.
We thought it might be a nice idea to get together with the Japanese artist at Cone 10 one evening. The potter has offered to give a power point presentation about her work and background in ceramics. We have arranged for an interpreter to help with the presentation and conversation.
Please mark your calendar for this not to be missed event: Tue Dec 4th from 6-8pm. Please let me know if you plan to attend or not, so we'll know how many chairs and, more importantly, how much wine, to organize. betseycarter@gmail.com
Hope you can make one or both events.
Best holiday wishes,
Betsey, betseycarter@gmail.com
