After almost two months of exhibiting its current show, 鈥淓arth Formed/Water Rendered: Art of the Fraser Valley Watercolour Society and the Fraser Valley Potters Guild,鈥� the 91原创 Centennial Museum  has announced the winners of the People鈥檚 Choice Award.  Watercolour artist Pat Maertz received the honour for her piece 鈥淢y Woodland Garden,鈥� while Pat Schendel, president of the guild, won for her 鈥淐rystalline Bowls.鈥�

Porcelains have been a passion of Schendel鈥檚 for the past 16 years, as she continues to explore the perfect form and glaze to show them off.  The crystals are essentially zinc silicate crystals that grow randomly, like frost crystals on a window 鈥� when all conditions are right.

鈥淚 am very proud of my members and their work in this exhibition,鈥� Schendel said.

鈥淭hey all can be considered ceramic artists, surpassing the title of just potters.  I feel in partnership with the Fraser Valley Water Colour Society, this exhibition has been exceptional.

鈥淚鈥檇 like to congratulate them as well, and particularly Pat Maertz for her People鈥檚 Choice Award for 鈥淢y Woodland Garden.鈥�

鈥淎lso, a big thanks go out to Kobi and her staff at the Museum for all their hard work in co-ordinating and managing the exhibition.鈥�

The exhibit opened Sept. 2 and the public has had since that time to vote for their favourite work.  The exhibit closes on Dec. 20.
