Can a 4-H member purchase a piece of unfinished pottery, decorate it, glaze it, and exhibit the item in a Visual Art class?
A. Yes, but not as an original artwork. There may be other appropriate exhibit classes, depending on the goal of the member, but for a Visual Art exhibit it would be entered in the Technique class – 821B. 4-H members are allowed to purchase unfinished “greenware or whiteware”, finish the item by applying the paint, glaze, etc., firing the item to set the decorative finish, and then use the appropriate methods to clean up and prepare the final item. They will discuss the technique(s) involved, how they learned the technique, and discuss design elements/principles (yes, the decorative touches have a basis in design).
