Two Exhibitions open this Weekend

This weekend sees the opening of 2 exhibitions on which I will be showing work.
The first, opening on Saturday, is 'Fragile' and exhibition by The Porcelain Collective, an initiative comprising 9 Gauteng ceramists working in porcelain and bone-china.
This will be followed on Sunday by The UltraFurn Regional Exhibition, hosted by Ceramics Southern Africa. This is an annual show showcasing the work of the Gauteng members of the association.

Creating Context


I know mid-February is late for a first blog post of the year, particularly if it is to create a purpose or an intention for the year. Well, it is mid-February and here is my first post for this year on the topic of creating a context for the year ahead.
What do I want to do differently this year and what will be my focus. I will continue with my work of both making and teaching ceramics. For me it is difficult to say which of these is more important. They are so intertwined and each nurtures the other. My work is stronger through my teaching and vice-versa.
My desire to make a difference is as strong if not stronger than ever and my thirst for a better understanding and further knowledge of my chosen medium never diminishes.
I do not intend to bore you with a list of individual goals, those are for me to make and either adhere to or discard as I travel my path through this year, suffice it to say that I choose to be present in whatever endeavour I am involved in and to make whatever mark I make to the best of my ability.

Three Openings This Week

There are usually not many ceramic exhibitions on at one time in Gauteng, and to be a part of 3 openings in one week is quite a feat! Last Saturday saw the opening of 'Four Ceramicists' at the Kim Sacks Gallery which I featured in my previous post and it will run until the 5th January.
On Friday evening the 'Black and White' exhibition opened in Pretoria, and yesterday was the opening of 'Translucencies' at Art Afrique at Legacy Corner in the Mandela Square. It features the work of 7 ceramists using porcelain and bone-china as their preferred medium. It will run until Sunday 2 December.

Ground Xero at Art in the Forest

It has been some time since I have had new work on show in the Cape. I have few pieces on this group exhibition curated by Anthony Shapiro at this beautiful venue.
The exhibition opens on Saturday October 27 at 11:00 am. If you are in the area it will be great if you can be there.
