CALL FOR ENTRIES EXHIBITION: TABLE MANNERS Due Monday 16 August 2010 Traditionally, afternoon tea has called for the very finest: your best china, polished silverware and impeccable manners. Attitudes toward decorum and the rules of social etiquette in contemporary society have since relaxed, leading one to question whether table manners have lost their relevance in today’s world.
panGALLERY, in association with Craft Victoria, calls on ceramic artists to submit an original artwork that embraces the dining table’s most iconic representation of good manners: the cup and saucer. How does this usually inseparable pair address the issue of etiquette, or lack thereof, in today’s social settings? Is there still a place at the table for the cup and saucer, and why should knowing which way to drink your tea and place your cup affect this inherently convivial ritual?
Selected works will be included in an exhibition at panGALLERY entitled Table Manners with a final award winner selected from exhibited works and awarded $1500. Work submitted must be new work and not previously exhibited.
Curators: Anita Cummins and Kim Brockett from Craft Victoria Selection Committee: Ray Laurens, Paul Filev, Anita Cummins, Kim Brockett and Sophie Milne Judge: Kris Coad Exhibition Dates: 7 to 27 October 2010, opening Wednesday 6 October 6-8pm DOWNLOAD APPLICATION FORM AND CONDITIONS OF ENTRY HERE

As you’ve seen over the years on Ceramic Arts Daily, ceramic artists are some of the most creative people out there when it comes to the tools they use. (in fact, Meira Mathison shared a great one on Friday). If a tool doesn’t exist to get a particular job done, no problem. A clay person will probably just make what they need. A bunch of MacGyvers, we are.
So, for our next contest, we thought it would be fun to ask our clever readers to submit videos showcasing the tools they’ve made or repurposed for a particular ceramics task.
There are so many cool homemade or repurposed tools out there that Ceramic Arts Daily has an entire section devoted to the subject. The “Making Clay Tools” section of the site contains loads of great examples of homemade tools. But wouldn’t it be great if there were more videos there?
That’s where you come in, readers! Enter the D.I.Y. Clay Tools Video Contest for a chance to share your great ideas with the world! You might even win the grand prize from our sponsor Euclid’s Kilns, Elements, and Tools: a $500 gift card to use on Euclids.com. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
