If your work is selected, follow the instructions below and in your email:

5. If shipping, include a return label or signed blank check for return shipping. A blank check means a check made out to Wildfire Ceramic Studio with a signature, but no price or date. See here for example of a blank check. Work without one of these will be charged a $5 processing fee. Any unsold artwork that does not have a payment for return shipping will become the property of WCS 90 days after the end of the exhibition.
