Thank you for sharing your experience with the shows Michael. Your work is as good as it gets and your string of rejections only points out the fickle nature of jurying. Yes, you have to have good work, good photos etc. You have all that and more. In our opinion it boils down to the more shows you apply to, the more you get in to. Don't doubt your work in the slightest. You are one of the finest enamelists out there. Who knows why you got accepted to this show and not another. We are happy for you.

Congratulations on your craftsmanship.

Whenever a speaker was introduced, their education highlights were listed along with the schools they were…See More
