Juror's Statement:

Congratulations to all of you who have dedicated your time and commitment to clay and the ceramics studio. Your hard work has paid off and is evident in the quality of your artwork. I chose the pieces which best married form and surface. Both classic and innovative forms were considered, while the completion of finish made my final decision. Keep up the hard work and keep slinging mud!
