"Surfacing," a term that means both creating a surface, and rising to a higher plane, is a fitting reference for these two important exhibitions.
The 12th Biennial International Juried Enamel Exhibition and 8th International Juried Student Enamel Exhibition, sponsored by The Enamelist Society,highlight the best in contemporary enamels produced in the last 2 years. The International Juried Exhibition showcased the work of enamelists that demonstrate these aesthetic trends and technical expertise. The Student Exhibition, which is always very inspiring, featured the work of students in accredited degree programs throughout the world.
