For the 2017 Utah State Fair, we challenged ourselves by each making a tea set to enter into the same category, meaning we were going up against each other. We decided whatever the outcome, we were winners for creating something new and extra ordinary. These items came out of the kiln with their final firing just in time to be entered.
