If you read my post Hairbrained Pottery you know that I was entering my pieces in a competition. I was up against another amazing individual and her custom designed weaving. I was chosen to represent that group as their champion for the next year. Part of this responsibility is not only representing yourself in a manner that shows well on them, but to also teach, participate in the group, and run the contest next year.
This group also attends an event in the spring where many of the different groups from across the area attend and I was asked if I would be willing to make a cup for each of the leaders of those groups (Baronies) to present at that time. The only ask is that they show the local groups badge. I also made one each for the regional (Principality) and over (Kingdom) leader.
These individuals take on the responsibility of helping their individual groups and are an amazing and varied group. I of course said yes, and got to work through the slower winter season. Below are the cups that I was able to create and, now that the last one has been given, I can post the picture of.
