Wagga Wagga Art Gallery is delighted to welcome the 2014 annual exhibition of one of our city’s most vibrant cultural bodies, the Wagga Wagga Potters Club. This year’s exhibition, Out of the Fire, is on display in the E3 art space, and features an extraordinary range of skills, techniques, styles and materials that truly reveal the wide diversity of contemporary ceramic arts.

From the time mankind first noticed the variable effects of fire on clay, potters have striven to achieve perfection. Over the centuries, this pursuit of excellence has led to the exploration of many different materials and methods, as a result of which, given the same starting point, one thousand potters will invariably produce one thousand unique and individual creations. Indeed, the only limit to what can be created using the mediums of fire and clay is our imagination. Out of the Fire is a celebration of the many branches of ceramics, and a showcase for the work produced in the quest for the perfect pot.

The Wagga Wagga Potters Club was founded in 1969, with the aim of promoting the craft of pottery in the community and producing pots that will enrich the lives of those who use them. Exhibitions, raku, sawdust and wood firings along with weekend workshops are regular features on the club’s program.  The Potters Club also participates in a wide variety of community activities, including Seniors Week, Fusion Multicultural Festival, and a range of school support programs.

The talented ceramics artists from this exceptional group exhibiting in Out of the Fire include: Lyn Cameron, Dianne Campbell, Narelle Fullwood, Fran Geale, Linda Lander, Milton Loiterton, Dianne Mahony, Maggie Marriott, Liz McInnes, Elie Passlow, Nola Roberts, Dawn Smith, Dawn M Smith, Julie Willis, and Lynette Wynn.

Out of the Fire will be officially launched by acclaimed ceramic artist Bronwyn Kemp on Thursday 11 December, at 6pm. The exhibition will be on public display in the E3 art space at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery from Thursday 11 December until Sunday 21 December, 2014
