and ethnic influences that make island potters unique. Through their
annual beach gathering and exhibition, local artists share their
experience of clay. Having received production and editing support from
Oceanic Community Programming, Raku Ho'olaule'a won the 1984 ACE Award for
a Local Documentary, the 1985 JVC Professional Competition Award for cable
production, and was aired on ATC cable stations across the mainland.
