THE Keramic Class is under the direction of Maud M. 
Mason and all of its pupils study with great enthusiasm 
and take much more pleasure and interest in their work for 
having both designed and executed the decorations themselves, 
with little assistance other than that of criticism. 
The more ambitious pieces were done by pupils who have 
worked for three years in this Saturday morning class. 
The first problem undertaken was a design for a tile, the 
second one being a simple design for a plate, cup and saucer 
that would have a freshness and charm of color, as well as good 
arrangement. 
There were many delightful sets executed which I regret 
were not photographed. 
The motif given for the large plate design was a bird and 
flower of which we had many interesting interpretations. 
Folk tales and fairy tales furnished motifs for the large 
plaques or trays. All the pieces were carried out in enamels 
used with the utmost freedom, being Mason's Hard Enamel 
Mrs. Williamson. Miss Gould. 
Mrs. Fritz. Mrs. "Williamson. Miss Hippie. 
for the French china and Mason's Regular Soft Enamels for 
the Belleek pieces. 
The results were most satisfactory and demonstrate the 
fact that enamels can be used successfully by the veriest ama- 
teurs if ordinary intelligence is applied in the handling of them. 
These pieces presented a gay and brilliant effect — a far 
cry from the greyed and subdued effects worked for some years 
ago. Think of the time that we might have saved if we had 
thought more of the fitness of the design and decoration of 
these articles of common use.
