Last night we drove in the rain to Charlotte for the Carolina Claymatters Pottery Guild's holiday meeting/party. Wow, that was a mouthful! We joined the guild last year but never went to any meetings. It was a pleasant evening, good food, nice people.
Each year they have a pottery gift exchange and give out door prizes... we came home with some new loot...
I wasn't thrilled to head out in the rain for such a long drive, but in the end I was glad we went. We were, and still are, very connected with the NH Potters Guild and enjoy the connections made from being part of a group. I made a promise to myself not to get involved in any volunteer work with this guild until my term as treasurer is up for the NH guild... yes, I am their long distance treasurer. Nobody wants the job, so they are fine with me handling the money from a distance!!
Happy Sunday, let's hope the sun comes out soon in NC.

Wish my guild was closer, driving more than an hour at night isn't my cup of tea; thank goodness I can touch base with potters via blogs.
I think a policy of serving drinks would help our guild a whole lot. The stronger the better...
I was wondering what holiday, still celebrating xmas and new year? I was a member of NH potters guild too (Hullo Roger!) and recently joined the Syracuse potters guild, around since 1947, a very long time. I don't know anything about them except they have been very nice to me and have great retail shows (SCORE!). Anyway, Meesh, potters (like me!) can spend a lot of time alone, it is nice to connect with other artists, as you say....
Glad to hear y'all went and it looks like you made out pretty well.
I was too lazy to drive in the fog and damp.
Gary- this guild doesn't have a meeting in December and my guess is everyone is too busy before the holidays with shows so they wait until January.
... are you saying Hullo to Roger G from Rochester? I haven't talked to Roger in awhile, I think Jeff said he is is on facebook, look him up if you aren't friends with him already.
Glad you liked the party. It was at my house but I am not sure we had a chance to talk. I do not know everyone in the guild so don't hold it against me if we talked and I don't remember it. I always love exchanging pots. This year I was so busy taking photos that I missed seeing alot of the pots opened. I do the blog for the guild so always need lots of photos. I hope you get a chance to attend more events.
