Ryan & Becca answer a listener question they've gotten a couple times recently related to clay conferences. They share their experiences at NCECA and other regional clay conferences, especially Clay Con West. Consider researching other clay conferences in your area to get to know more of your local clay people, learn a few things, get outside of your comfort zone a bit, & explore a new city. We hope to see you at Clay Con West or NCECA in 2024!

Listener Questions
On this episode:
- I would be interested in hearing what all pottery conferences you have attended (or know of) and how they compare. I enjoy attending NCECA when I can but it can be a bit overwhelming and content is often more targeted to fine artists and instructors as opposed to studio/home potters. -Jeff Poteat @claypotzpottery
- I had a question for your podcast. I went to NCECA this year and it was awesome. I am thinking of going to clay con west next year. I will probably have to pick either NCECA or CCW. Which was your favorite and why? @threelickpottery
