Clay Artist, Jo Roets: "Though I didn't know, it was a gamble to see whether the fine art industry would accept air drying clay as a medium, it just went crazy and everyone love it. I was quite amazed and in that same year I also won an award for a competition that was run at State of the Art."

"She calls her clay artworks ‘light relief sculptures’. The way Jo uses the medium is unique. The artworks are created from an air-drying clay medium, which is rolled out to a paper-thin thickness to create delicate bass relief sculptures. Using unusual sculpting tools such as toothpicks and needles, she scores the damp surface with indents, holes and incisions. Part of her creative challenge is to push the medium to its breaking point, encouraging it to warp in the process. This warping quality is unique to the each artwork and unplanned."
