director of the International Ceramics Studio, the 1st International
Triennial of Silicate Arts was held in 2005 in Kecskemét, Hungary –
expanding the tradition of the National Silicate Industrial Triennials
of the 1980’s into an truly global event.
Organised by the Foundation for Contemporary
Ceramic Arts, the 4th International Triennial will again include an
international competition, an exhibition and an international ceramics
symposium.

I thought this was interesting being that it’s tax time and I have to go through my numbers from the last year. No comment as to where I would place….I personally would like to see a hands up as to who is that 3% in the emerging category that’s bringing in 100k + : )
Now I’m off to see if I can find a Canadian comparison. Anyone know of one?
