Mahaffee Wins Best in Show
at Art Competition

Dianne Mahaffee, adjunct professor of ceramics and art education at USC Lancaster, recently won Best in Show and a cash prize at the Bite of the Apple art competition for her ceramic sculptural raku-fired pot entitled, "Pot Creating Itself.” This contest, hosted by the Civic & Cultural Arts Center of Pineville, encourages art teachers from North and South Carolina to create art outside the classroom and submit their works to juried competitions.  Mahaffee’s sculpture is on display through February at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center in North Carolina. In addition to teaching at USCL, Mahaffee teaches art full-time at Lancaster High School.
