Student Award Winners

sculpture of hand and birds

Ceramics Award

Linda Baker, Ghost Birds, 2024

"Birds are sentinels, the current threats to them from climate change are warnings of future threats to us all. In this set of wearable porcelain sculptures, each bird represents a California species that is included by Audubon on their list of climate threatened and endangered birds."
