The opening of the Strictly Functional Pottery National was a
smashing success! We had a good crowd and Susan Peterson gave an
interesting presentation that was almost a ceramic history lesson
punctuated with anecdotes. The exhibit is fabulous!!! Many people
said it is the best one yet!
The show is online now, although the webmaster is still working on
the juror's statement and other supporting information. (see web site
at end of post)
I will list the awards for this year below.
Jean,
feeling sad and flying to California because my mother died on
Thursday... and wishing I could have left to be with her. Of course
this is the one week out of 52 that I really could not leave. She had
84 good years, but lived to be 90.
