Guild Artisan

Guild members who feel that their work is of above-average quality may apply for Artisan evaluation after one year of continuous membership in the Guild. The Artisan Selection Committee comprises a mix of Artisans, Fellows and General Members, and meets once a year in the spring. Applicants submit three to five pieces of their best work to be evaluated. The committee looks for the following criteria: relative scale, professional quality, proper use of medium and finish. Those applicants judged with passing scores are accepted as Artisans in the Guild. Those receiving less than acceptable scores receive a letter from the committee with constructive comments on how to improve their work and encouragement to re-apply again in the future. Many applicants who are not successful in the first evaluation do apply again, and the majority of them are successful at their next evaluation.
