ftERAMIC STUDIO 
Newoomb Pottery. 
EXHIBITION OF ART CRAFTS 
THE Fourth Annual Exhibition of Art Crafts was held 
last December in ithe Art Institute, Chicago, 111. 
It was gratifying to note how much good work was sent. 
There was decidedly more metal work than any previous 
year, and the exhibition of pottery and porcelain was ex- 
ceptionally fine. 
Newcomb College sent a splendid exhibit of pottery, 
woven linens and embroideries, each piece, whether in 
clay, flax or silk, showing thought and care from the be- 
ginning to the end. 
The Robineau porcelains filled two large cases which 
were the central feature of one of the large galleries. In 
the case of light color pieces a white silk mull over a dull 
white made the colors appear as jewels. In the case of 
dark color pieces dark grey silk muslin over light grey 
Silver iNecklaee, set with green onyx— Emily l'\ Peacock. 
The overglaze decoration of porcelain showed rapid 
strides in the right direction. The Atlan Club display 
was excellent, both in design and color, also the work sent 
by Miss Middleton, Miss Dibble, Miss Peck and Miss Cole. 
The Wilro Shop had beautiful illuminated leather, 
and Miss Fleige's work in tooled and cut leather was 
most interesting. The Swastic shop sent also illuminated 
leather. 
The table silver from the Handicraft Shop, Wellesley 
Hills, Boston, Mass., filled a large case and well represented 
the workers. H. E. Potter and E. Stephan also exhibited 
very fine pieces of table ware, many of their spoons were 
quaint shapes and enamel was used in the handles. The 
exhibition of silver jewelry was most interesting and 
came from the following workers: the Misses Barnum and 
Carson, Miss B. Bennett, L. C. Lavaron, F. E. Mann, J. 
Prewton, Emily F. Peacock, I. W. Sanberg and others. 
Chas. F. Eaton of Santa Barbara, Cal., exhibited lamps

n yellow crystalline gla; 
satin finish made quite a charming contrast to the reds, 
blues and rich greens. Heretofore such expensive settings 
had only been accorded the jewelry but it was thought 
that the porcelains warranted the change, and it is one of 
the features of the Art Institute exhibitions that special 
attention is given to backgrounds. 
The Grueby Faience Co. _ sent a very interesting ex- 
hibit, their panels and tiles were exceptionally^ good.
