ACCEPTED.

I put A submission in the 500 series from Lark books and been accepted into 2 books now which is pretty exiting.
The first one was in 2008 in the 500 tiles book, for this book there were 1500 submissions so very happy to be one of the lucky ones.

The second book only just came out this year. for this book there were 2100 submissions so lucky again.
 

It feels good to see your work published in a beautiful book full of inspiration.

A few words from the judge:  In selecting pieces for the book, i considered more than 2100 submissions. I gravitated towards work that seemed to preserve the custom of raku while pushing it to new frontiers.The selected artist have dramatically expanded the technique's aesthetic vocabulary while demonstrating astounding skill with surface, form, and firing. Their reverence for tradition combined with their thirst for experimentation ensures that raku will continue to flourish for years to come. I'm proud to share their work with you.
