The addition of the Educational Showcase Programs by President Pat Lackey in 1997 has been well received by our members. Members who participate in these programs and Regional Education Programs receive credits to various levels of achievement and are recognized at our annual convention.

Inservice

Upcoming IADCCT Sponsored In-Service at Laguna Clay

See the information available on the registration

The "Inservice Program" was the first of the Educational Showcase Programs. It is designed to encourage Manufacturers or businesses relating to ceramics to open their doors to our members and allow CDTs to learn about various facets of the industry. Companies typically offer tours of their facilities, a presentation of their products, answers to questions from our members and, hopefully, the opportunity for purchases. The first "Inservice" was held at Suncrest Manufacturing, Clinton, Utah, in 1996. Others have been at Duncan Enterprises, Fresno, CA; Laguna Clay Company, City of Indstry, CA; Coaster Art, Phoenix, AZ; The Gladding McBean Factory, Lincoln, CA and F M Brush Company, Glendale, NY

Ceramic Retreats

Ceramic Retreats involve "members helping members". Members get together with the goal of added education. Participants teach each other techniques and demonstrate projects that can be passed on to students in their studios and classes.

Youth Service Project

This project promotes ceramic education for our Youth. Members volunteer knowledge and services in the ceramic field to facilities or organizations devoted to children.
