Ceramics – A Fragile History 1. The Story of Clay
Sorry everyone – it seems that the BBC has pulled this off of You Tube. : (
Too bad it was wonderful. I guess it’s up to someone in the UK to try to get us another copy.
Sad news for the Craft Sector.
Near and dear to my heart is the craft community in Australia as I lived there for a few years. This news comes as a shock and with great sadness as I am quite aware of the amazing work that Craft Australia does for their regional, national and international communities. Hopefully there will be a way to work for change to this decision. Please keep posted for more info and ways to help.
| Craft Australia Defunded Dear friends and colleagues, On Thursday, 12 October, Craft Australia was officially notified that it has been ‘defunded’: it will receive no more triennial funding from the Australia Council for the Arts beyond the end of 2011. While Craft Australia and the broad constituencies it represents and supports would dispute this decision, the result effectively means the organisation has no funds to operate beyond 31 December 2011. This decision comes at a point when the sector is poised to make some significant developments in relation to craft, design, innovation and the creative industries, and in which Craft Australia has played and would have continued to play a significant role. We will be sending more detailed information to you next week. More information about how you can help Craft Australia will also be sent to you next week.

Bowen & Bowen
Sat 22 Oct 10:30-18:00 and Sun 23 Oct 12:00-17:00 at Contemporary Ceramics Centre
Bowen & Bowen brings together a father and son who work separately and independently from one another, yet share a common point of reference. Both enjoy the excitement of taking their work in a new direction, and here the careful traditions of English Slipware are unseated and then thoroughly subverted through work by two members of the same family.
Bowen & Bowen is on show alongside the work of over one hundred makers within the Contemporary Ceramics Centre. Specializing exclusively in British Studio Ceramics, the gallery presents a continually changing display of individually handmade ceramic objects.

hans tan studio: spotted nonya for FARM
“singaporean design studio hans tan studio has developed ‘spotted nonya’, an industrial re-interpretation of the nonya porcelain vessels which are traditional domestic wares native to chinese-peranakans in south asia. produced in collaboration with singaporean creative agency FARM, this contemporary take on the traditional objects transforms the original multicolored surface treatment into a new dotted pattern. the limited edition series of vessels utilizes the resist-dyeing technique that is often applied to dye fabric patterns. hans tan masks the porcelain pieces with the new dotted motif, which is then sandblasted, so that the areas protected are preserved, while the original glazed sections of the exposed areas are erased, revealing the white porcelain which lies beneath.”
