CAEA Winner of Toki Kiln donated by Leslie Ceramics!

We just received this picture in a lovely email from Susan Wuerer, President of the California Art Education Association:

Dear John,
Thank you so much for your wonderful support of CAEA and it's teachers. We are so grateful for your generosity in donating the kiln, but also in giving workshops, which people really enjoyed. I am sending you some pictures. This one is with the kiln winner, Edie Christensen.

CAEA:The California Arts Education Conference, was held last month at the Double Tree Hotel, San Jose, California. 300-400 elementary, middle and high school level teachers from around the state participated in a variety of art classes, such as monoprint techniques, painting, and ceramics, as well as inspirational lectures on art and education. There was a wide exchange of notes exchanged by teachers related to art curriculum development in an effort to advance art education. With art education budgets being dramatically cut across the state, the CAEA event plays an important role in sustaining and growing the arts in California. For artists interested in teaching classes for next years CAEA event in Bakersfield, contact Susan Manbeian, Fremont District Art Chair, 510-668-1360.
