“This is a big year for ceramics,” said UI ceramics professor Ron Kovatch, who noted that participation in the juried show was highly competitive. Of 430 works considered, only 41 were chosen for the exhibition. Kovatch said the competition was extended to students from Missouri and the bordering states of Arkansas, Illinois and Kansas. Participating students were invited to submit two slides of their work.
