You really just have to see it to take in the wide variety of talent represented. 

Bettie Gong of Palatine began working with ceramics more than 30 years ago on a wheel. Her emphasis has changed over the years, and she began working with slab clay. Bettie then moved on to fusing other materials with her ceramic work. She creates ceramic jewelry and smaller, ornamental items which are currently on display and for sale, in Studio V on the Harper College campus.
