Greetings and welcome to Dinner Party!

The theme of this show is Dinner Party! We are looking for all functional table works: Plates, bowls, cups, stemware, candle sticks, napkin rings, spice shakers, centerpieces, utensils, platters, butter dishes, etc. We highly encourage sets of at least two items: A plate and a bowl decorated to match could be a set, as could two matching candlesticks, a pitcher and cups to match, or a shot glass ski? We are also excited to see multiples! The world of functionality is your oyster!

The layout of this show will include an actual table setting, along with additional wall and shelf displays.  

 

We are excited to have this show juried by Gabs Conway! At the opening of the show she will award one artist, “Best in Show”, who will receive a Mud Tools prize yet to be announced. Additionally, there will be two honorable mentions. Read further for more details...

​

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

​

1. Read and fill-out the Guest Artist Contract (link will be in the acceptance email)

2. Print the Inventory Tracking Slip (also in email) and include it in your box with your work.

3. Label each piece with its corresponding Wildfire SKU (see the Inventory Tracking Slip)

4. Insure your work (optional but highly recommended). WCS does not hold any liability for work stolen or broken during shipping.

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 with neither 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.
