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.
