And a big thank you to @amysandersceramics for hanging out and helping me at our @cxc_ceramics_collective pop up this year. She is amazing and her work is incredible and we had the best time talking and dancing and being silly!! I’m not good at remembering to take pictures….i should have gotten one of us actually smiling together, sorry Amy! But I kind of like this one haha.
THANK YOU!! To everyone who came out to our @cxc_ceramics_collective pop-up this year. Being a part of this group is so special to me and I’m so grateful for the friendships I have with the amazing artists involved. NCECA always fills me up, largely because I get to see so many friends that I feel so lucky to know. Thank you to everyone who supported me and others who were a part of CXC this year, it really does mean a lot and it makes a difference! Can’t wait for next year!
