Crawl Glaze Competition-update

So…I got this email the other day about a Ceramic competition at the Cultural Association Passepartout Faenza in Italy. At first I thought I was getting the email because I have a piece in the International Ceramic Museums collection but as I read further I realized that the focus on this years competition was Crawl Glazes. I saw they had a link to examples of crawl glaze work so thought I’d check it out and guess what….there was this piece of mine from 2012 as an example…cool. So the first photo here is the one they were showing and the next photo is the piece I am considering entering. One never knows what a week will bring….bemused fox that pots…

Update: I did enter the piece I was thinking about entering and I am happy to say it received Special Mention which includes a 1000.00 Euro award to take a course at the Arts centre in Faenza…nice!

So, I did enter this piece and am happy to say that it was awarded one of the 3 special Mentions of the first edition of the “Ceramic&Colours Award 2016”.

  1. Dear Mary – well done on the prize you have an open invitation to come and stay in Marple, Cheshire (near Manchester, UK). You were a real inspiration to our son Scott and helped him with sending photos of your pieces for his artist research for his A Level – he got top marks and has now gone off to University to study architecture = pottery he remains in love with and he has drawn me into doing a class with him which I have continued whilst he’s gone and Graham and I are now empty nesters.
    Thank you!

  2. Congratulations Mary – your award is well deserved!
    How wonderful that your bowl was featured in the examples of crawl glazes – and that you were inspired to follow up on the competition invitation.

    Best wishes and HAPPY FOXY POTTING!
