Pottery Expo @ Federation Square

02 Dec 2012

The Pottery Expo project was created in 2001 by Jane Annois, an internationally exhibited Australian ceramic artist and teacher. The project aims to promote high quality innovative studio ceramics created by Australian ceramic artists, bringing these art works to the public at various venues. Expo's are held in Warrandyte, Federation Square and Gapsted.

The first Pottery Expo @ Federation Square in Nov 2005 was a great success and it has now become a popular annual event. The Potter Expos are a great opportunity to meet and see the work of not only local potters but also those from around Victoria and interstate.

Pottery Expo is based on the concept of the Marché de Potiers [Potters Markets] of France. Bringing ceramic art more into the public arena is an important part of fostering the growth and development of this artistic field.

Some feature attractions include:

* Many of Victoria's finest ceramic artists presenting their work for sale. Meet the artists, be captivated by their work

* TAFE and University ceramics courses represented by students and lecturers;
