Description: Two-piece clay figurine.

About this Award: Awarded to recognize creative effort in any artistic medium. Artists of age 12 and under are eligible.

Juror’s Comments:

Martin Kim: A really charming piece of folk art, but not lacking in craftsmanship.  The burnish is excellent. And the simple rendering of the nodule on top of the small ceramic tray that creates a figure is really great folk art.
