Australian Potters open their studios to the Nation!

This August hundreds of potters and ceramic artists around the country will open their studios to the public for the seventh annual Australian Ceramics Open Studios. The event is hosted by The Australian Ceramics Association and shines a spotlight on the diverse practice of Australian artists working today in clay.

According to Cathy Franzi, President of The Australian Ceramics Association, this national event is an inspiring opportunity for the broader community to step inside the creative spaces of
contemporary potters and ceramicists. It’s a chance to experience the wonders of this luscious
material and the skilled artisans who develop their unique voice within this ancient practice.

“The ceramic process is a particularly fascinating one, starting with shaping plastic clay into form, whether that is a cup to drink from or a contemporary sculpture. You might see clay turned into vessels on the potter’s wheel or an artist decorating a ceramic surface with intricate imagery before the piece is fired in a kiln. This weekend will offer the visitor a rare glimpse into the spaces where creativity occurs,” Ms Franzi said.

The general public can unleash their inner artist and participate in workshops, see demonstrations, listen to artist talks, and purchase original ceramics from potters located in suburban backyards, inner city co-operatives and rambling rural settings across Australia on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 August, from 10am – 4pm.

Visit www.australianceramicscommunity.com to see the profiles of participating artists around the country.

Entry to all studios is free. Enquiries call 1300 720 124 or 0419 250 282.
