CERAMIC ARTS STUDIO COLLECTORS’ CONVENTION SET FOR AUG. 27th, 2011

Vive le difference! From adorable “Wee Chinese” to towering “Egyptians”, from exotic “Temple Dancers” to zesty “Zulus”, Ceramic Arts Studio figurines run the global gamut. Colorfully costumed visitors from other lands, courtesy of “the little Studio that could” brightened homes from coast to coast during the 1940s and ‘50s, and continue to brighten hearts today.

Want to join them on their journeys? Then travel “Around The World With CAS”, this August 27th! Registrations are currently being accepted for the 2011 CAS Collectors Convention in Madison, WI. The event will honor the Studio’s impressive international roster of figurines, as well as the ingenuity and creativity that established CAS as a worldwide favorite. CAS Collectors is a group open to all those with an interest in the work of Madison’s Ceramic Arts Studio.

From 9 am to 4 pm on August 27th, Convention attendees will take in the Wisconsin Pottery Association Show & Sale at the Alliant Energy Center. Later, all will gather at Madison’s Howard Johnson Plaza for the Convention festivities, with activities and décor centered around a fun-filled “World’s Fair” theme.

Getting the evening underway will be a social hour, and the popular “CAS On Display Contest”; all in attendance are invited to submit entries. A buffet dinner and membership meeting will be followed by the club’s annual auction, featuring professional auctioneer Shirley Baumann. Events will conclude with door prizes, and presentation of the 2011 CAS Collectors Commemorative.

Convention registration, which remains at $60 per person, includes all evening activities, plus the Commemorative. Registrations received by May 31st will be eligible for an “Earliest Earlybird” prize drawing, to be held at the Convention. Forms and additional information are available on the club’s website, www.cascollectors.com, or by writing CAS Collectors, 206 Grove Street, Rockton, IL 61072.

All are invited to celebrate the heritage of Ceramic Arts Studio—and take a stroll down memory lane—at the seventeenth annual CAS Collectors Convention. Ceramics collectors from near and far will gather at “the fairgrounds” August 27th, for “Around The World With CAS”. It’s your passport to fun and excitement!
