Canberra Potters 2017 Members Exhibition

5 OCTOBER – 3 NOVEMBER 2017

Canberra Potters once again presents some of the best work of its members. Innumerable combinations of different clays and making, decorating and firing techniques give rise to a broad range of works that ostensibly use the same materials but each exhibit unique and individual characteristics, forms, textures and colours.

The premier award of the exhibition is the Doug Alexander Award and thanks to a generous team of sponsors, a range of other awards were presented at the official opening on the 5 October.

Canberra Potters 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 some of these 330 plus members. 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.
