In August, ceramics professor, David Kiddie, had one of his teapots “Red Rocket” published in The Best of 500 Ceramics: Celebrating a Decade in Clay, Sterling publishing Co, New York, NY, as part of an international juried book competition.  The book is comprised of the best 500 works from 5000 eligible pieces that were previously published in 10 other book competitions.  A pool of 64 jurors comprised of international and national ceramic artists, historians and critics chose the works to be published.  Quite an accomplishment considering this book was a final round of competition that began with over 20,000 entries.
