Portage Ceramic Award Winners Exhibited at Lopdell
Dunedin artists took centre-stage at this year's Portage Ceramic Awards, winning the premier prize with two large-scale, colour-infused works described by the judge as ambitious in concept, form and materiality.
The
winners were chosen from almost 200 works submitted by
artists nationwide, a record number of entries in the Awards
nine-year history.
The Portage Licensing Trust
established the Awards in 2001 as a showcase for New Zealand
ceramics. It is due to the generosity of the Portage
Licensing Trust that after almost a decade, the awards are
the country's best known barometer identifying our finest
ceramic artists.
Come along and see for yourself, The
Portage Ceramic Awards exhibition runs until 6 December.
