Pharis is a former student of Warren MacKenzie, and he teaches ceramics at the University of Minnesota, where he's been an instructor since 1985. Susan Mahlstedt, Lynn Joris Reintsema and K. Meta Reintsema, and B.J. Christofferson were all honored for outstanding work, and Ikuzi Teraki and Jeanne Bisson of Romulus Craft were honored for exceptional booth design.
