MCWC 2011

I was honored to be Keynote Speaker for Metal Clay World Conference 2011  July 14-16 in Bloomingdale, Illinois.

In addition to the keynote address, I presented a two day pre-conference workshop Developing an Artistic Identity 
and a conference seminar Developing an Effective Pricing Formula

I want to extend a very heartfelt thanks to all of the folks who attended the MCWC 2011 conference.

For the warm welcome I received at the Keynote address, I appreciated every drop. For your enthusiastic
and good natured audience participation, I enjoyed the interaction. For your following expressions of the
inspiration and motivation it brought you, I value the sentiment.

I was deeply honored to be the Keynote Speaker for this conference. It was a rewarding and fulfilling
experience and one that has helped me grow and develop and explore and share. The funny thing about
insightis it has little value if not spread out to others.

For those 24 fabulous creative spirits who were in my pre-conference class, I applaud you. The work you
did was outstanding. The opening up you experienced was just a tiny glimpse of what is to come as you
practice and refine the process and give cohesion to your personal expression.

For those who entered the competitions I’d like to say “You are ALL winners!” It is participating that
is meaningful and important, and everyone is equal in that completeness.

For Jackie, Tom, Katie, and all of the ACW staff, I can only say “well done”. This event is Professionalism
at its best.

What a great event, what a great group of people.
What a great experience!

Fond regards,
Michael
