Judges Comments:

Sprigged ware can be dated back to ancient Roman times. Last year, I had theprivilege of visiting The Wedgwood: Artists & Industry exhibition in Townsville, where they displayed some beautiful examples of sprigged ware in the Wedgwood/Jasperware range. I have chosen Aisha Kennett as the winner of this challenge because her work perfectly captures this technique of “applied relief decoration”. The additional glazed sprigs on the side was a nice touch to the overall presentation of the work.

      A Selection from our Member Gallery

      Queensland has a long history of producing world-class potters and ceramic artists. That tradition lives on today with many of Australia’s most innovative clay-workers living and working in the Sunshine state.

      There are strong centers of excellence on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, the central Brisbane areas and in the regional areas of the vast state of Queensland.

      Many of the members of Ceramic Arts Queensland mount critically acclaimed exhibitions throughout Australia and internationally every year. The member gallery showcases the portfolios of some of our members.

      Most of these artists have their own websites or galleries where their work can be purchased either online or in person at their studios or galleries.
