A visit to the Museum of Brisbane today to see this exhibition of Clay.

“With pieces spanning 60 years of creativity, including fresh works never before displayed, Clay sparks a conversation about the relationship between potters and their visions. From functional wares of the 1970s to conceptual creations by iconoclastic makers of today, this exhibition will speak of the meaningful processes of making and collecting”.

I loved the way they displayed the potters in their finery with their pots.

Late in 2022, Museum of Brisbane invited people working in ceramics in the Greater Brisbane Region to submit an original ‘memory vessel’ for exhibition during Clay: Collected Ceramics and BRISBANE ART DESIGN (BAD). The Museum sought to create a temporary, site-specific and large-scale collection showcasing the diversity and vigour of current Brisbane ceramic practice. 

The exhibition features wonderful ceramics and here are some I liked but you can see more in detail on this link which is certainly worth looking at.

It made me appreciate the art of pottery all over again – and an art which spans thousands and thousands of years. Here is something that has endured and morphed and evolved in ways which delight and surprise.
