Spoon Me’s online guests will be directed from the www.medalta.org/spoonme
page to view the show on Medalta’s new Pinterest page. ***Note this will be live online as of September 1st.*** Spoons can be
viewed and re-pined by other Pinterest users. The link on the photo
remains with the image and will take viewers directly to the spoons
purchase page which happens to be on our brand new Medalta online shop
that we are also launching with the spoon show. Our shop will feature
contemporary ceramics from our exhibitions, starting with Spoon Me, as
well as reproductions of historical Medalta pottery made in our Museums
production studio.
At Medalta we are passionate about ceramics, from our clay industry past
to the contemporary ceramics community. Through this exhibition, in the
gallery and online, our goal is creating more space and opportunity for
contemporary craft artists to engage with a growing audience…and our
audience is eagerly awaiting this exhibition!

#1&2 are Leigh Wen: The line & meditative qualities of her
work are so inspiring to me. She can capture the sea in a squiggle better than
any other artist out there!
#3 is Simon Van der Ven: Just look at it! The delicacy, the
patience, & the skill required to create this work is outstanding and
something to aspire to.

#4 is Sandi Pierantozzi:
I’ve always been inspired by the whimsy &
movement of Sandi’s work- that and the fact that she uses slabs rather than the
wheel…I just love that!

#5 & 6 are me:
All
my life the sea has been a source of peace, reflection, fascination,
and
endless inspiration. I have spent countless hours on or beside it in the
quiet
meditations of beach combing or listening to the movement of the water.
Through form, surface treatment & glazing I hope for my sculpture
&
functional work to reflect some of my favorite qualities of the sea, as
well as
my life-long enchantment with it.

Girl Parts 2014 Invitational opens @ Mudfire This Saturday
August 23rd – September 30th, 2014
MudFire presents Girl Parts, an exploration of all things GIRL,
whether they be sugar and spice or something more sinister. This show
includes tiles, mugs, pots, sculptures, and a wide array of color, style
and material.
This show has a bit of everything – from pretend boyfriends and
lovely lady postcards to inticing sculptures from Kyungmin Park and
Kirsten Stingle give us something a little more to ponder about
femininity. Come see for yourself!
Starting August 23rd – this work will be on view in the gallery and
online – we will be holding a reception celebrating these delightful
works from 5pm – 8pm on Saturday August 23rd. Kirsten Stingle will be
here to discuss her work.

Trudie Alfred (1922 – 2010) was a well- known Sydney potter and
teacher with a great passion for ceramics. She struggled financially to
sustain a ceramic practice in her early years as a potter and so, to
assist others in a similar position, she left a generous bequest to The
Australian Ceramics Association. Trudie specified that the funds be used
to support the work of students preparing to embark on a career in the
field of ceramics.

Conditions, please contact Vicki Grima at The Australian Ceramics
Association.
