Welcome to the launch of The Journal of Australian Ceramics 59/2.
The Australian Ceramics Association acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate our Sydney office. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and that we are on stolen land. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who we might encounter as we connect with our broad Australian ceramics community.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us for today JAC launch.
Today we will get to hear from some of the JAC’s most recent contributors: Ben Richardson (TAS) who has just built a kiln on Bruny Island; Madeleine Thornton-Smith (VIC) who reports on her recent Peruvian residency; the Hermannsburg Potters (NT) visited by Fiona Hiscock in 2019; and Kim Martin (VIC) who covers the dangers of silicosis. Bridie Moran, JAC Editorial Assistant, will also join us, after her journey through The JAC archive.
