Artists represented in the exhibition “Eclectika: Ceramic Art for the Table” are; Sarit Cohen, Linda Davy, Sue Fisher, Gwenna Green, Erin Kocaj, Alice Macdonald, Vicky Newman, Fran Romano, Antonia Throsby, Tania Tuominen, Jo Victoria. The exhibition installation was by Helen Geier.

The 11 ceramic artists are part of the Canberra-based collective ‘Claybodies’, and are respond to the revival in the appreciation of studio-made tableware ceramics, resulting in works that are functional, sculptural, and conceptual. These are artists who are approaching domestic tableware in innovative ways.

Forget ideas of perfect mass-produced tableware, and think scribbly doodles in 3D, surprising, quirky.  From sensual surfaces and subtle palettes, to pitted textures and luscious colours. Shades of gelato, minty green, creamy vanilla, chocolate chip, raspberry ripple.  

In the spirit of the table, an object that implies generosity, hospitality and community, ceramic works by the artists will also be exhibited in two local eateries – Paydirt Eatery and Dee-licious. 

The exhibition runs until 9th November 2014
