About the Juror, John Hopkins
Having worked with clay for over forty years I have come to appreciate all approaches to working with clay. I appreciate the attention getters next to the quiet and refine. When I jury exhibitions I first look for execution of craftsmanship. I want to see form and surface working as one. Given the hundreds of ways of approaching clay I then look for an original or unique way of using traditional techniques. The pieces that are going beyond emulating someone else’s style, and doing it well, are the award pieces. These are the works that are going beyond the basics and showing us a fresh new approach.

Pot and the Figure
