Stephen Lally\, curator of the Return to Eating\, Drinking\, and Merriment exhibit\, will share his vision for this hybrid exhibit\, share details about the award winners (selected by juror Jeremy Wallace)\, and answer questions. \nThe online platform allows for participants from across the country to attend. Juried in to the National Ceramic Cup show include artists from Alabama\, Illinois\, Minnesota\, North Carolina\, Ohio\, New York\, as well as local DMV artists. \nMake your favorite drink and join the session! \nRegister before Saturday\, October 8 at 6:30pm ET in order to receive the connection information in time.
