#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.

Trudie Alfred from ann reed neice        Trudie Alfred1

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.

For further information, and AFTER you have read the Terms and
Conditions, please contact Vicki Grima at The Australian Ceramics
Association.
