Awarded a $3,500 scholarship after participating in a Juried exhibition competition. The exhibition focused on contemporary works of art based on Asian Arts and Culture. The exhibition took place in the Student Gallery at Klapper Hall. A panel of notable outside jurors chose the winners.

Quote from the press release: “The student competition drew a wide variety of submissions. Hanson, a BFA student in studio art, created ceramic vessels using the traditional Japanese kurinuki technique of hand building. The technique, which is unique to Japan, explores form and surface through a process of carving a surface from a solid block of clay, then hollowing out the inside.”
