All about Synergy- the National Polymer Clay Guild conference in February, 2008. Four interviews with artists.

We have been blessed with the opportunity to speak with four talented polymer clay artists about their thoughts and plans for the Synergy Conference. It takes place next February in Baltimore, Maryland, on the East Coast of the US. It will be an exciting opportunity to get together with all the “famous” poly-clayers, and a chance to listen to them speak about three specific topics- Craftsmanship, Business, and Inspiration. The three days are each dedicated to a topic. Seminars will be 90 minutes long, and panel discussions and lunchtime roundtable talks are planned as well. Deemed a “pasta-machine-free” zone, this conference aims to close the gap between presenters and attendees, by creating an environment where more people can attend and the cost is a bit more affordable than the usual clay-play retreat. A networking, social, and learning opportunity for all. We can’t wait to attend. Yes, we will be there- with our cameras rolling. Of course we will not be able to film the whole three days, but we hope to interview some more artists, and show some key moments. We hope many of you will be able to attend and if you do, please be sure to drop us a line, we’ll have lunch!

Enjoy- our interviewees are Seth Lee Savarick, Sarah Shriver, Maggie Maggio, and Maureen Carlson. This is a long podcast- an hour. It may take a few minutes to download and play.
