NCECA 2014: Lisa Hammond, Mark Hewitt, Mary Ann Steggles, Tony Clennell
This document discusses challenges facing potters and ceramics programs, as well as initiatives to support the industry. It summarizes that: 1) The pottery field faces threats like cheap imports, high costs, and changing consumer patterns that are hurting sales and leading fewer students to enroll in ceramics programs. 2) However, programs are adapting curriculums to better train students. Initiatives like "Adopt a Potter" also help fund apprenticeships to pass on skills and support young potters. 3) The document highlights several potters and programs in Canada and the US that are finding ways to keep the pottery tradition alive through teaching, apprenticeships, and community support
