Juror’s Comments:
Martin Kim: Micaceous clay is a very complicated clay to work in the closed vessel form. It's not a clay that's easy to mold, and this vessel shows good structure and form all the way around. They had good fortune with the firing, with some flashes. This is an effective use of micaceous clay, which is all about form.
