 NEW! Announcing Potters Council Student Juried Exhibition
The 2012 Potters Council Online Student Juried Exhibition was created to recognize full-time college students who are Potters Council student members in an online exhibition. Our interest is to support the Potters Council student members who create ceramic art.
We are pleased to announce our jurors, Paula Smith and James Connell. In addition to choosing the award recipients, the jurors will offer personalized feedback for each entry. Both instructors have been instrumental in ceramic arts education, and Potters Council appreciates their support of our endeavors to recognize our student members currently enrolled in college.
Potters Council looks forward to receiving entries from our next generation of ceramic artists. |
