Fire & Clay 2024 showcases and awards the outstanding pottery and ceramics of members of Auckland Studio Potters (ASP). ASP will shortly announce this year’s judge.
This annual exhibition celebrates excellence in ceramic practice and demonstrates both the depth and breadth of experience of ASP members, who range from senior practitioners to impassioned amateurs, as well as students studying in craft, design or fine arts programmes. The work on show includes functional ware and sculptural pieces, and encompasses a wide variety of making, glazing, and firing techniques.
2024 Winner: Aidan Raill, ‘Derrick’
Artist Statement: Derrick, is captured at the stage of its life where it could be either pulling itself together or tearing itself apart. The glazes I feel could illustrate both growth or decay. “Why am I dying to live, if I am just living to die?”
