CLAY PRESENCE: Canberra Potters’ Society 2012 Members’ Exhibition

by | Sep 10, 2012 | Uncategorized

Official opening 6.30pm Thursday 13 September
14 September – 1 October
Open Thursday to Sunday 10am – 4pm plus the public holiday on Monday 1st October

The exhibits in Clay Presence, be they large or small, make their
presence felt through a variety of clay types and making, decoration and
firing methods. Anyone who knows anything about pottery will know that
these factors give rise to innumerable combinations. The result is a
broad spectrum of works ostensibly using the same materials but
exhibiting unique and individual characteristics, forms, textures and
colours.

Canberra Potters’ Society’s membership covers a wide
range of skills and interests and includes professional ceramic artists,
talented and dedicated hobbyists and tertiary ceramics students. The
members’ exhibition aims to showcase the excellence and diversity found
in the work of many of these members and allows the society to make its
presence felt as it presents some of the best work of its members to the
viewing public. Each year the exhibition spans the pottery spectrum
from functional to sculptural work and should be of interest to visitors
whether they come with an already-cultivated interest in ceramics or a
fresh curiosity.

This year’s exhibition is judged by Vicki
Grima, editor of the internationally respected Journal of Australian
Ceramics and a talented ceramic artist in her own right. The premier
award of the exhibition, presented by Canberra Potters’ Society, is the
$1,000 Doug Alexander Award. Thanks to a generous team of sponsors, a
range of other awards will also be announced at the opening on the 13th
September. The ActewAGL Tertiary Student Award is specifically designed
to encourage students and promotes the presentation of innovative work.
