WE regret very much that several of the photographer's 
plates were lost so that many of the best pieces done 
in the Ceramic Class in the Fawcett School cannot be shown. 
However, the group presented will give a fair idea of what we 
are endeavoring to accomplish. While a few of the students 
have been working in the class for several years there are each 
year many new recruits. 
There were two prizes awarded, — one for a tea-set, won 
by Mrs. Charlotte Williamson, and one for a bowl, won by 
Mrs. Risley. Mrs. Williamson's set was delightful in design 
and color, being gray and inviting and was shown on charming 
linens designed to go with the set. Mrs. Risley's bowl was 
in full color with black carried most effectively through the 
design. 
The photographs of some of our best bowls were among 
those lost, so we are unable to present this group adequately. 
The group of bowls shown, (of common yellow kitchen ware) 
were effectively decorated in black and one or two colors. 
As usual the value of the blues is lost in the photographs of 
those articles decorated in that color in light tones, and the 
imagination has to be exercised in order to visualize the effect 
of them in the original. 
rj In the large bowl by Miss Weiss the predominating color 
is rich Turquoise Blue, black horizontal bands and spots, 
with Orange, Madder and a touch of Blue in the design. 
The large plate shown interested me especially. It was the 
work of a pupil who never worked previously to this year and 
I feel it is more truly an expression of herself than almost any 
other piece exhibited, having an imaginative quality with well 
spaced decorations. 
It is our object in teaching this class to encourage and 
assist the pupils to express their own ideas and avoid the pit- 
falls that groups of workers are apt to fall into, that of having 
all the work bear a strong family resemblance.
