I am delighted to share the news that I am being honored by the Clay Art Center
in Portchester, NY on Wednesday, Sept 23 at a gala dinner/dance at the Crawford
Mansion in Rye Brook, NY for "my achievements in the advancement of ceramic
education".


The Clay Art Center was founded in 1957 by Katherine Choy & Henry Okamoto and I
was one of the early residents, after OSU and Queens College (1964 -1967) and
worked closely with Okamoto before moving to my own studio in Manhattan in '67.


Proceeds from the benefit go toward the Center's programing and to expand
scholarships for local youth as well as to extend their artist-in-residence
programs. I will also be lecturing about my new book, "Confrontational Ceramics"
on October 22. Check press release attached and/or www.clayartcenter.org for
further information.


All Best,


Judy
