I agree that the enthusiasm and energy Synergy brought to the world of polymer clay is indeed palpable. I hope this will continue until we can all get together again. -Amy What a wonderful summary Susan.

I am both thrilled and relieved that the conference went so well. I know there will be lots of discussion on "voice", "intention", and "content" and I want to share Jo Lauria's answer to a question asked after her talk on Saturday. A Synergy attendee asked her the difference between art and craft and then said, "Does something have to be functional to be considered Craft?" Jo's response was "Beauty can be a function." That made me realize that the lines we try to use to divide our work into categories are blurry. And if the conference made them blurrier (is that a word?) then we did our job!
