Workhouse Clay National 2011

The Workhouse Arts Center held  the Workhouse Clay National  2011 with the theme of "Confinement" from August 3-28 in Lorton, VA. The juror of the exhibition, Ellen Shankin, asked artists to explore the theme of "Confinement" in their functional, and/or sculptural ceramic artworks.  Individual interpretations of "Confinement" may be used literally or conceptually in the work(s).  Department of Art Professor of Ceramics and Art Education, Marsha Karagheusian, won an "Honorable Mention" for her bas-relief wall piece entitled, "Empty Nest".  The exhibition was also reviewed by John Gascot in the Huffington Post.
