Sarah O'Sullivan

Vestige

http://www.craft.org.au/See/exhibitions/sarah-osullivan/

Vestige by Sarah O'Sullivan calls on the nostalgia of modernist ceramic installed in a reproduction Edwardian sitting room. Accomplished decorative technique ranged across vase forms, framed images and domestic utensils.

Gerry Wedd

Pot Culture

 Gerry Wedd's Pot Culture celebrates Melbourne's independent & alternative rock roots. The exhibition includes a flowchart of musical influences, punctuated with cobalt painted portraits.

Nick Cave was a compulsory inclusion and an ode to Gerry's passion for surfing in this substantial feat of hand building & painting.
