EXHIBITION CALENDAR July-December 2010
A listing of all exhibitions for the remainder of the year.
Exhibition Opening: Triptych
With glaze upon glaze, Paul Marosszeky creates timeless pottery using a combination of clays from rugged stoneware to delicate porcelain. His sundial was made using products from the construction of the original Newcastle ocean baths.
Lee Daniel uses a mixture of ceramics, glass and other media to create classical mosaics depicting past eras. More recently she has explored warm glass fusing to create plates.
Fiona Perry is a painter of faces – whether artless and unconscious or carefully constructed, all are of interest – the bare and naked, the primped and preened, and anything in between.
Join us at the opening at 6pm on Friday August 20.
Exhibition Opening: Vessels for Pouring
For our second competition members of Newcastle Studio Potters have been asked to create Vessels for Pouring.

Join us at the opening and announcement of winners 6pm Friday August 20
Exhibition Opening: Impressions
Please join us at the opening of Impressions: 6-8pm Friday September 10.
In their seventh exhibition together ceramic artists Heather Campbell, Anne Gazzard, Grant Keene, Susan Myerson, Joan Robinson, Denise Spalding and Anne Too have once again produced an impressive collection of ceramic work covering a broad range of form, style and function.
Work ranges from pieces inspired by the colours of the Australian landscape, the rich terracottas of the Tuscan countryside, and the earthy images of African animals, to delicate porcelain sculptures, ceramic depictions of the female form, platters impressed with floral motifs and pieces inspired by the bright colours of storybooks.
When clay is fired the artist produces an object that carries his/her “impressions” - be it a sculptural form or a slash of colour, it was impressed by the potter onto the clay.
