I'm accepted into the IAC:
"It is our great pleasure and honor to announce that your application has been accepted. We welcome you as a new Member of the International Academy of Ceramics. We congratulate you on this achievement which rewards your passion for ceramics."
I feel thankful for all my supporters and jurors in helping me become a member of the IAC.
The IAC has its headquarters in Geneva. It was founded in 1952. It connects artists in the field of ceramics, designers, galleries in 74 countries across all continents.
The goal of the IAC is to stimulate friendship and communication between professionals in the field of ceramics in all countries.

I studied there for my ceramics for a couple of years in 1981 at the school Les Arts Decoratifs: 40 years ago! Next year, it will be the 70th anniversary and 50th congress of the organization and so it is wonderful to go back there and be part of the exhibition and the conference!
