Please register for the conference at your earliest convenience.
T-shirt: we plan on using good quality “Gildan Ultra Cotton Unisex T-shirts” the design comes from a pot that you will see in the collections at EAC.
Camping: we have rented the group area at Roper Lake State Park, there are only 13 spaces available there with no hookups. There are other campsites and also cabins available in the same park some with full hookups but you will need to contact the park directly about those spaces.
Pottery: the firing fee helps to pay for speakers and other incidental expenses for the conference. Please bring no more than 3 medium sized pots (is it bigger than a breadbox?) unless you plan on firing it yourself. All pots must be hand built of native clay, no wheel thrown, slip cast or bisqueware will be accepted.
Food: the meal options here are provided by Eastern Arizona College catering and is our way of giving back to the college for the facilities they are generously providing. Below are the different menu options.
