Ceramic Work by Cassius Hearn Accepted into National Ceramics Exhibition
Congratulations to Archmere senior Cassius Hearn, whose ceramic piece, Braids N' Ways, was accepted into the national 2026 K-12 Ceramic Exhibition. Created last spring in the Ceramics elective at Archmere, Braids N' Ways was selected by the juror for inclusion in this year's Annual National K-12 Ceramic Exhibition in Detroit, MI, from March 25th to March 27th. There, it will be seen by thousands of visitors from all over the world, many of whom will be in Detroit for the NCECA conference.
The decisions of the juror were based upon an examination of 1,051 entries for this year's exhibition. The catalog, poster and website will include Cassius's work. From the total 1,051 entries, Braids N' Ways was one of only 150 pieces selected for the exhibit.
