Pottery Club Wins Again at State Fair

By Kai Rambow

“I saw a program on PBS about ugly face jugs and I became inspired,” reflected Terrie McNamara.  “I had also just broken a pot on the kiln and said ‘Oh, my gosh, perfect teeth.’ I wanted to do this as a challenge.”  That personal challenge resulted in a first place ribbon at the state fair.

With something different, a huge jug, Sue Bederka and Jack Libby won a second place ribbon.  It took longer to get the detailing done, than it did to create the big jug.

Impressively detailed work by Michele Miller won her a first and second place ribbon.  “Whimsical is what I love doing.  The fairy house one can put a candle in there,” enthused Miller.

The pottery club has once again competed well. Congratulations to all the winners.
