Potters:Produce
The committee organising the next Australian Ceramics Triennale (TACTT2019), which will be held in Hobart in May 2019, was awarded funding through the Arts Tasmania Organisations Investment Program to run a lead-in project where six Tasmanian Potters participated in a professional development program. The purpose of the Potters: Produce project was to upskill a group of Tasmanian Potters with the specific knowledges required by potters who produce work for use in commercial eateries.
The training period was followed by a Professional Practice phase, where each Potter paired up with a food industry client for/with whom they developed a product, or small range of products. To celebrate the conclusion of the project a celebratory lunch was held, where the tableware produced by the participants shared equal billing with the produce.
The potters chosen to participate in the Potters: Produce project were Sallee Warner, Lisa Britzman, Dee Taylor-Graham, Tarsh Bonnice, Susan Simonini and Fiona Wallace.
