Australian Ceramics Association National Open Studio Weekend

Vacant Assembly resident potters Jen Hillhouse, Julie Smeros and Laura Pascoe will be demonstrating their process throughout the weekend. They will each have some work on display and available for purchase.

13th and 14th November 11-3pm

Jennifer Hillhouse is a potter and also a working designer and photographer. Her clay work explores conceptual ideas and themes and often uses bold simple colours & symbols. While making pottery work, form, curves and visual balance are an important part of her process. She is mostly influenced by the sea and icons in and around it. Man-made and natural forms that speak of our relationship with the ocean, the contrasting emotional influences it has on people and how it exists in many mysteries, stories and songs.

Julie Smeros Ceramics is a play of porcelain, cobalt and mythology. Her influences from her years living in Japan and her Greek heritage are merged to create functional and sculptural work.  Her imagery and repeated motifs  reflect the tradition of story telling from generation to generation and those found on Greek pottery.

Laura Pascoe is inspired by nature and particularly loves brushwork, layering and glaze alchemy.  The majority of her work is wheel thrown and functional although she does also work with hand-built and extruded sculptural forms.
