Indepth Arts News: "Melting Pots 2001: Cairns Potters Club Biennial Exhibition" 2001-09-14 until 2001-10-14 Cairns Regional Gallery Cairns, QL, AU
This year we’re encouraging artists to break out. This is the time potters will try to do something special, because its for an exhibition, as opposed to having to be functional, Ms White said.
Pieces featured in Melting Pot 2001 range from the weird to the wonderful – fun pieces to functional, with quite a lot of sculptural works, she said.
Melting Pot 2001 features the work of artists from across the Far Northern region, including Cooktown, the Atherton Tablelands and Mission Beach, with some artworks travelling from much further afield including Tasmania, Melbourne and Townsville.
The Cairns Potters Club, which was established in 1974, has over 100 regional members, which come together twice a year for workshops with national and international artists.
The primary focus of the group is to establish a regional ceramic entity, identifying commercial opportunities, while promoting the work of local artists throughout Australia.
Judging of the Melting Pot 2001 will be performed by Victorian ceramicist Ted Secombe, who is recognised as a classical ceramicist specialising in crystaline glazework.
