Ravensdale Statement
The Northwest Polymer Clay Guild has heard from so many disappointed people regarding the postponement of Ravensdale that we felt it was necessary to respond to questions about our decision.
With the poor reports on the economy last Fall, the NWPCG felt that it would not be fiscally prudent to hold a Ravensdale conference this year. Each Ravensdale must cover its expenses, provide the seed money for the next Ravensdale and cover a portion of the Guild's operating costs between conferences, as this is our major fundraiser. Keeping these goals in mind, we felt in this economic climate we would not be able to attract enough attendees to hold a financially succesful conference.
If we were to organize a conference that is not financially successful, we run the risk of never holding another conference and possibly jeopardizing the existence of the NWPCG itself.
Please be assured, we are planning on holding Ravensdale in the future. More information on this event will be announced when it is available. As always, we hope that our friends, both old and new, will join us there!
The NWPCG is a non-profit organization formed exclusively for educational, artistic and charitable purposes, with membership open to anyone with an interest in polymer work. We meet monthly in Seattle, Washington.
