Pat Walton, Art Clay World, USA's Western Director of Education, has won a specialty award in the 2002 Silver Accessories Contest, which was recently held in Japan. Pat was one of hundreds of Art Clay Artists who submitted pieces from all over the world. Her entry, "Dream Keeper" was selected to receive the NHK Educational Prize. NHK is the biggest broadcasting TV company in Japan. The prize includes a 20,000-yen award, which Pat says she will use to purchase a dinner when she flies to Japan later this month for the Japan Hobby Show. Other award-winning Art Clay pieces were submitted from Taiwan, Korea and Japan. The remaining Art Clay Silver entries that passed the final screening, including pieces from Senior Instructor Shirley Brown and Jackie Truty, will be on exhibition during the Japan Hobby Show."
