ttERAMIC STUDIO 
Graduates of the three year course, Florence Leonard, 
Sylvia Williams, Mimi Kohlman. 
In the evening classes, the awards were as follows: 
Wood Block Printing, Second Year Design Class 
The exhibit of pottery was smaller than usual, but 
most interesting were the terra cotta cylinders, suggested 
by the Ancient Peruvian ones in Nat. History Museum. 
These really were an experiment and probably fired too 
hard to absorb the proper amount of color necessary for 
printing, though these illustrations are fair examples of 
what can be done. 
A competent jury made the following awards: First 
year scholarship, Rowena Van Woert; honorable mentions, 
Pauline Brainard, Gertrude C. Abbe; second year scholar- 
ship, Genevieve Wilgus; honorable mentions, Gertrude F. 
Minicus and Florence Sutterlin. 
Art embroidery scholarship, Mimi Kohlman; honor- 
able mention, Florence Demarest and Tilly Jellinghaus. 
General Art Course, Gertrude Rudolp; first scholarship 
divided between Ethel Cochrane and Julia A. Percy; honor^ 
able mentions, Dorothy Neisel and L. Bach. 
First year Costume Drawing; Scholarship, Flsie Strat- 
mann; honorable mentions, Margaret Seidenstrick and Mary 
V. Pierce.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
A. W. — Sorry these answers have been crowded out for lack of space. 
For dusting a deep rich red, dust first lightly with Ruby Purple then in a 
second fire with Pompadour or Blood Red. For a deeper color, use Maroon. 
When the directions for executing a conventional design call for dry dusting 
of several different colors, it is best to dry dust one color at a time. For in- 
stance, on bowl, page 60, July 1906, "dry dust leaves with Brown Green," 
paint the leaves, then when almost dry drop a little powder color on each leaf, 
one at a time, rub gently in with a little surgeon's wool until the paint will 
hold no more color, when all leaves are finished brush off bowl, clean any 
ragged edges. Then proceed to paint apples which are dry dusted with Carna 
tion in the same way. The Carnation will not adhere to the leaves to any ex- 
tent as they will hold no more color.
