NCECA conference 2016

Yesterday I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the NCECA conference in Kansas City, MO. I wasn’t prepared for seeing over 5,500 artists, curators, students and ceramic enthusiasts at the convention center and at various galleries, nor the abundance of the wonderful work on display and for sale.

Breaking (no pun intended) tradition from my weekly postings of inventive repairs, I am showing just a few of my favorite pieces, all perfectly intact. But after my lecture on the art of inventive repair, I am hoping some of these artists and others will be inspired to repair their own work, just in case the inevitable happens.

    I was at the latest exhibition by local ceramist Xavier Montsalvatje (I live in Valencia, Spain), and noticed that several of his decorated plates had been carefully broken in half and stapled back together. When I saw them I thought of you. Check them out at the gallery website: http://setespaidart.com/
