Clayschool: Current and Alumni — and Shop
Potter around a clay-based showcase showcasing ten years of eye-catching pieces — and pick up some pottery for home, too.
Overview
Maybe you really love Patrick Swayze. Perhaps you've always loved terracotta or ceramics. Or, the idea of pottering around a clay-based showcase and taking home standout pottery pieces could just be your idea of a great time. Whichever category you fall into, coast on over to the Clayschool shop and Clayschool: Current and Alumni, both of which are celebrating ten years of works made out of its chosen medium during 2023's massive Brisbane Art Design festival.
Even if you've never tinkered yourself, you might be familiar with the Brisbane clay institution thanks to its seasonal shows and markets. With its latest excuse to get shopping from Wednesday, May 3–Sunday, May 28, you'll be heading to West End's Vacant Assembly to browse and buy from 10am–5pm Wednesday–Friday and 10am–4pm Saturday–Sunday.
Then, across three days from Friday, May 26–Sunday, May 28, the Current and Alumni exhibition focuses on celebrating not only the best of the best, but also the full range of Clayschool's output. So, you'll see pieces from beginners and professionals. Jewellers and ceramic artists will be covered as well. And, there'll be potters that've won major art awards, plus creatives who've featured in galleries elsewhere.
In total, more than 40 potters will have works on display, names such as Ray Cavill, Ky Curran, Laura Pascoe and Jennifer Hillhouse included.
Entry to the exhibition is free, with opening night running from 6–9pm, Saturday's session spanning 10am–4pm and Sunday's from 10am–2pm.
