[Nfb-krafters-korner] speakers and creative ideas

[River Woman]

I do not have experience with non-fired clay but maybe someone else here 
does? If not, I can begin to investigate and we can explore it 
together...ok? Maybe someone here has a lot more experience with that than I 
have - I only used it once in a classromm at the college, for a specific 
project, but I can begin to check that out.

>>I would be interested in participating as a discussion resource - AFTER I 
>>get my solo show over with - I could talk on how to put together an 
>>exhibition and/or how to prepare your work for a juried exhibition; I am 
>>going to write a series on this topic on my blog in the near future.  I 
>>could make it very basic for anyone who is considering goint to the next 
>>level and putting your work "out there" in an exhibition - the how tos of 
>>it.
>>
>> There are other things I could discuss:
>> 1.  Bead Weaving/ Non-traditional use of bead working combining beads and 
>> fibers - as an art form. This would be a collage type of work, but using 
>> beads, fabrics, stones, gems, found objects, etc.
>>
>> 2.  Pottery - making it from scratch, basic techniques, glazing, firing, 
>> clay types, how to tips for beginners or advanced pottery making. I would 
>> focus on HAND THROWIng, not on wheel throwing - as an art form.
>>
>> These are three things I am confident in leading a discussion with if 
>> anyone is interested I would be very glad to do it. First, I have to get 
>> my solo show off the ground this weekend, then I am available and would 
>> enjoy it if you are interested.
