KERAMIC STUDIO 
59 
AN APPRECIATION OF THE NEWARK SOCIETY OF 
KERAMIC ARTS 
Sara McCampbell 
AS the Keramic world well knows, the work of the Newark 
Society has always been of a very high standard, but 
. at no time in its history has it reached so splendid a plane of 
artistic development as now. Never before has the work 
been of such uniformly high merit. 
No greater tribute could be paid Mr. Marshal Fry, who 
has directed the club for the past two seasons, than this won- 
derfully lovely and distinguished exhibition. That he has 
been able to inspire the workers with new vision, is strongly 
evidenced by the results shown not only in the porcelains and 
linens, but in the flower and table arrangements as well. 
There is harmony in the whole without loss of individuality. 
There is character, without the bizarre; refinement, without 
insipidity, and a charm and dignity and happiness about 
the entire exhibit altogether deligthful and satisfying. As 
one noted the carefully thought out linens, which in most 
cases accompanied the china, one could not help wondering 
if the members fully appreciated that they were being led, 
gently and wisely, into that bigger and broader field of "In- 
terior Decoration." Surely no one could work long on lines 
expressed here in china, linen and glass and not continue his 
thought, to embrace an entire room and its furnishings. 
One would not have the Newark Keramic Society lose 
its significance and identity, but if, as time goes on, it extends 
its interests, more and more, in the "Home Arts," it will 
increase greatly in influence and power.
