The Executive Committee of CAAWA meets on the first Thursday of every month to discuss and plan upcoming events and exhibitions. All members welcome to attend.
August 2009 –September 2009 Presidents report:
It doesn’t seem a year since the last AGM. Time flies when the program has been busy. We have continued to try different ways of presenting our events and last years annual selective show was no exception. This year the show
is moving into Fremantle and nominations close 6thAugust . I encourage you all to take part ,as it is a chance for members to show what we can do to a new audience. Our participation in Bazaar becomes more and more successful each year. Sales have grown to the extent that several previous participants have felt confident enough to apply for their own stall. We look forward to this year being more successful as visitors to the event seek out the CAAWA stall . ‘Earth’ a joint show with Felt West at the Mundaring art centre received creditable support and is an encouraging start to a possible program of joint shows with other organisations. Thanks of the event. to Joanna and Andrea for their organisation This year several of our members have travelled overseas -congratulations to Greg and Sandra. The large number of our members at the conference in Sydney is an indicator that the ceramic community in WA is alive and well. In conjunction with the Triennali CAAWA held ‘Beyond the Nullarbor’ an exhibition at gallery Adagio in Glebe. The show exhibited the work of 21 members and was opened by Robert Bell. The work was a credit to the exhibitors and stood up well amongst the other work exhibited throughout Sydney . The

advertising poster proved an excellent window to the show. Congratulations to all involved. Our communication vehicles ,Pyre and our website continue to grow in excellence and size. These tools give WA ceramics an arm that is Australia wide and international. Thanks to Andrea and Sue for their vital role. The committee continues to develop a policy for the presentation of ceramics in education and will press for the reintroduction of ceramics units at Tafe and other institutions. Given the resurge of ceramics overseas the reductionist policies of some of our institutions is very short sighted. CAAWA exists as a virtual organisation in its support role .The establishment of a permanent “shop front “ has been the subject of discussion. We are currently exploring the idea of permanent premises to allow a focus of state ceramics to be established. Possibly with a manager ,maybe with funding for our role as a support for other organisations etc. These ideas will be explored more in the coming year along with suggestions that come from the survey responses. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the committee for their hard work and commitment. Without their efforts the ceramic experience in WA would be so much poorer. The AGM is an opportunity to consider your own commitment. Being on committee is a rewarding experience gives insights to the working of the whole WA ceramic community and is a chance to return something to a structure that offers support to your practice.

Clay Energy Gulgong 2010
Wednesday April 28 - Sunday May 2, 2010. Register now by going to the website www.ceramicart.net.au
Clay Energy is the theme for the 2010 conference. Energy in all its forms will be the focus of discussion and events. Whether artistic or physical, various types of energy are vital for producing ceramics. In Gulgong there’s an energy that keeps delegates
returning year after year. It’s a buzz that stems from the cross-pollination of conversations about clay, glaze, inspirations, making and firing.
This is the eighth in these series of clay events and promises to be as rewarding and stimulating as the previous seven have been. International artists from Finland, Hungary,UK, USA, NZ as well as Australian artists will lead the workshop presentations. Participate in experimental raku and hands-on events. Talks, demonstrations, exhibitions and special events will take place in the historic and friendly town of Gulgong, heart of the renowned Puggoon clay deposits – small and convenient enough to be intimate at the same time becoming again the hub of the ceramic world. Janet Mansfield is the art director and will host a day at Morning View. Chester Nealie is the master of Ceremonies. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Old bakery on eighth gallery & café: Expressions of interest for a teapot exhibition in November After a years break for rest and recuperation we are preparing for a teapot exhibition, by public demand, at the end of the year. The exhibition Will be entitled `Teasing `, and is scheduled to run from Sunday 22 November to Sunday December 20. In selecting teasing as the theme we had in mind its light, playful meaning. A few hundred years ago, teasing was anything but taboo. Jesters and fools enjoyed high status. With their sharp-tongued mockery, outlandish garb and entertaining pranks, they highlighted the absurdities of all that was held sacred, from newborns and newlyweds to kings, queens and leaders of the church. In the tradition of the jester or the fool lies the essence of what a tease is- a playfully provocative mode of commentary ( Keltner, New York Times, December 5 2008 ). Alternatively you could play around with tea sing or the possibility of the `tease`. It`s up to you. Exhibition fees, towards advertising, printing and opening day refreshments, will be $ 40.00 each artist. Expressions of interest as soon as possible please. www.oldbakery.com.au email; [email protected] 42 Eighth Ave, Maylands 6051 _____________________________________________________________________ City of Wanneroo Art Awards September '09 Contact: Kristy Gough Tel: 9405 5602 E-mail: [email protected] Awards: $10,000 in prize money including the $5,000 acquisitive City of Wanneroo Open Award

My experience of the Australian Ceramics Triennale, Sydney July ‘09
Elaine Bradley How was Sydney? How much time do you have? I attended the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Sydney last month and immersed myself in clay - metaphorically – it gets messy otherwise. From the potter housemates with whom I shared an apartment to how I spent all of my time in Sydney – barely anything but clay was spoken of – God it was BLISS! The last time I attended a conference was a ‘Telecommunications Managers Association’ Conference, Brighton, UK, 1987! Dry as a Dry Matt Barium Glaze, on a hot day, in a desert and much less beautiful. So I anticipated the Sydney conference might be a little similar, some dazzling names but in some big trade show set up in some boring old ‘made for purpose’ conference centre (no reflection on Perth’s one, naturally). I was wrong on every count. The conference took place in the National Art School (NAS) set in the old Darlinghurst Gaol, which comprises a group of very old buildings, admin blocks and Cell Blocks. It made me wonder at how Sydney’s early population could generate buildings of such beauty and enduring interest. So many ‘round’ buildings fascinated me and one NAS lecturer, whom I met in the café queue, put me onto a book on the history of the place – ‘Hope in Hell’ by Deborah Beck. The cover of her book has an image of a dilapidated cellblock, which, I suspect, is that in which in it’s revamped state, the Keynote Speakers gave their talks. Marek Cecula had my ear but my eyes were busy taking in the amazing stripped back surroundings reeking of human history and angst. Great start!

TOUCH ME! FEED ME! BUT DO IT BY HAND
16
Food is a great motivator and I figured the 35 minute walk from our apartment to the NAS merited a decent breakfast of great coffee and bacon and egg roll from it’s café. I hung out for those breakfasts as I tried in vain to keep up with Gill Treichel and Jill Archibald who marched at speed towards the venue each morning. Delegates needed a clear head to
pick their way through the events listings each day, choosing from demonstrations, talks and discussions, galleries, trade events. Outside the registration office at NAS was a big table on which were kept all the posters, flyers, invitations etc relating to the Triennale events all over Sydney. The CAAWA poster took pride of place and I smiled often when I spotted them being snatched up by other delegates oohing and squealing over their ‘score’ - that felt good! I smiled a lot in Sydney. As a ‘warmer-upper’ there were day-long bus tours on Thursday, visiting up to seven or eight galleries with ceramics shows. It was intense just trying to take in everything on show then dashing back on the bus in time for the next gallery. It was difficult, having so much work, the like of which W.A. artists normally only see in The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Ceramic Review or Ceramics Monthly right in front of us, wanting to examine it even more closely, wanting to touch it. That drove me nuts, I became hyper aware of how I like and need to hold and touch vessels, and how I deliberately use ‘the good stuff’ on the daily dinner table, to allow my family the same pleasure and appreciation of handmade ceramics. It reminded me of a newspaper article I read years ago relating Takeshi Yasuda’s remarks (a keynote speaker) on the tactility of everyday vessels.
"What do you do with your tea cup," he asks, "when you are deep in thought or perhaps just daydreaming? I know what I do. I explore and play with it. I trace the
17
rim round and round with my fingers, I stroke the handle, fondle and caress the bowl. I lift up the cup and run my finger round the base. Or I simply cup the bowl with my two hands to feel the warmth of the tea. Usually, I am not aware of this. I hardly acknowledge I am doing it. And I wonder how much this unwillingness to acknowledge such tactile engagement is bound up with correctness of behaviour."
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food--drink-design--a-fine-romance-1294234.html Actually, having spotted the prices lovely TK’s work can fetch on, I feel I could just meditate in the presence of a piece of his work, and feel like I got good value. I found myself musing over so many ceramic works the sculptural, the decorative, but coming back again and again to those I could relate best to, domestic ware, something I rarely make, yet LOVE to make. What a shock realisation for me, ‘food for thought’ you might say, and I recalled Julian Stair’s words, in the same article, on a way of seeing vessels you use everyday …
“Visual art may be pre-occupied with the body, but tableware does that by default. To make a cup of tea, you brew, you pour, you put in milk, you drink. It engages the whole tactile dimension through our bodies. Isn't that time-based art?”
Kind of makes every coffee I have at home little more Zen now. Is that an oxymoron – caffeine and Zen? A show of sculptural clay and mixed media work in The Tin Sheds Gallery at the Faculty of Architecture of University of Sydney sticks in my mind, the speeches were long and meaningful which allowed us naughty ones to have a really good look at work by Kim Dickey, Ken Yonetani, Pip McManus, Helen Earl, Gudrun Klix among others. It was dazzling. It has to be said that the standard of the ceramic work and the manner in which the galleries curated it in so many venues, was simply top notch. If you weren’t there, you missed something really good. Another set of very good memories –
18
the Adagio Gallery in Glebe, where CAAWA’s Beyond the Nullabor exhibition took place – seeing Sandra Black’s large ivory bowls in the centre of the room, lit in such a way that the shadows alone were exquisite, sitting on the upstairs deck with a chardonnay waiting for the opening to begin, the opening speech by Robert Bell made me so proud to be a West Australian artist. Apart from the saturation of taking all the work in, the buzz of having some of my own work in the Clay Feet and CAAWA exhibitions, the stimulation from seeing demos by BIG names, Virginia Scotchie and Simone Fraser being my faves, my amusement watching the audience agog at Greg Crowe’s facility with clay, the ‘discussions’ in the Cell Block which got a little more cerebral and reference littered than I could handle at times. Another highlight was a brushmaking demo by a chinese artist cum comedian who knew how to work an audience and my scoring a massive goathair and horn brush at a great price. He was a hoot. There were the openings each night, the dining out (Italian, Mexican, Polish and Vietnamese in my short time there), but it was the company I kept that made the experience so memorable. It was lovely to saunter from demo to demo, catch the South Australian ceramists show upstairs in some fabulous old building, meet up with so many of the WA ceramists there, make new
friends including Vicki Grima Editor of Journal of Australian Ceramics and her assistant Ashey, and all the ANU students and staff I hooked up with. Instead of feeling small and unimportant, I felt very connected, my confidence and determination to keep making and pushing myself just increased. On my last day there, walking towards the NAS with Myra Staffa, a group of ‘young people’ as my husband likes to call them, spilled out into Oxford Street from a nightclub, definitely worse for wear and ill dressed for the chill morning – at 8.45 am. Myra and I side sidestepped around them, bemused at the state they were in, and I thought to myself, heading in to hear Takeshi Yasuda’s Keynote Speech – ‘I am so glad I came here’.
