We all know how amazing Ceramic Arts Daily is, but it never hurts to be reminded of their wonderful resources such as their video archive, which could keep you busy from now until at least next week. And enough inspiration to make you crave getting in the studio asap.
Enjoy!
After several rounds of narrowing down, revisiting, heated debate, and in-depth discussion, the editors of Ceramics Monthly chose fourteen deserving artists for the 2012 Emerging Artists issue.
Now it’s your turn to have a say by casting your vote in the “Emerging Artist People’s Choice Contest,” graciously sponsored by Bailey Pottery Equipment & Ceramic Supplies! The winner will receive a $500 gift certificate to be used at www.baileypottery.com.
The voting will be open through Wednesday, May 9 and we’ll announce the winner on Wednesday, May 16.
