NCECA 2026 RECAP! The Annual Clay Conference You Never Knew You Needed!

I just got back from NCECA- the annual conference of the National Council on Education of the Ceramic Arts. It is a fantastic conference filled with everything clay. From exhibits to pop up shows, from suppliers, to manufacturers of new products. NCECA’s conference transforms the host city each year to a celebration of clay. Learn more about the conference, and put it on your calendar for spring of ‘27 in Baltimore- March 10-13! As promised in the video, here is my linktree code which has a link to my sharing document of the materials in my presentation “Organized Chaos in the Ceramics Studio”! https://linktr.ee/karanspotsandglass Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

(Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 35 years, and I have been teaching for over 34 years, the past 27 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsAndGlass I started my Youtube channel to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students! Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
