Flux is an exciting opportunity for Coastal Claymakers’ members who are willing to take up the challenge of making a small work to fit within the dimensions of 15 x 15 x 40cm.

BACKGROUND

This selective group exhibition model is based on the successful format used by The Australian Ceramics Association’s members’ exhibition Held in 2024 and their forthcoming members’ exhibition Continuum.

Flux will provide a great visual cross section of the creative diversity of ceramic practice in our region.

To support our members making a submission for inclusion in FLUX, we are providing an information and support session to better understand the application and selection process. We are also facilitating a workshop about photographing your work using your mobile phone. Great photos of your work are important for promotion, marketing and other applications.

Save the dates below and registration details will be released in the coming weeks.
