ON THE EDGE

 

March 28-31, 2012                   Seattle, Washington

THEME:  On the Edge - Seattle, as well as the entire Puget Sound region, 

is located in a unique geographical position; 

on the EDGE of the country and on the EDGE of the Pacific Rim.  

From this location ON THE EDGE, quite naturally, we have a broad perspective on objects, places and issues, and see great distances. 

 We thrive on the intersection of old and new worlds.  And we respect distant and historic cultures…

Asian, Pacific, Native American, and all of our neighbors in North America.  

Most of all we appreciate how they have influenced our contemporary ceramic practices.

Through creative stretching, we also visit the EDGE of our imagination and appreciate the artistic use of clay in dynamic new ways.  

Even EDGY ways…often on the EDGE…sometimes with rough EDGES.
