Description: Micaceous jar with fire clouds.

About this Award: Awarded to work that shows the best quality in craftsmanship and use of ceramica material. All pottery is eligible.

Jurors' Comments:
Jennifer: Beautifully simple form takes advantage of micaceous clay and creates a well-balanced composition.
Shonto: The pot was hidden amongst the other pieces and it did not stand out until I got close to it. As I studied it, it stands out in simplicity. There's not much way to control the fire spots - I appreciate the subtlety and I liked that.
Ramson: (of the Runner Up, Navajo pitch pottery) I was impressed with the overall form, the rhythm, the detail at the top of the neck and the terrace design - angular and balanced off the curve. It has nice colors and color balance with nice definition of the dark lines.
