Emma A finalist of the Saul Bell Awards
Once again we are literally bursting with pride. Our Metal Clay Artist and Instructor has made it into the finals of the incredibly prestigious Saul Bell Awards. Not only is she the only finalist from the UK in the Metal Clay Category, she is the ONLY UK FINALIST in the entire competition. A huge achievement and we wish her all the luck in the next stage of judging.
We are nearly FIVE
