It's been a long time since my last post - BUT I HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING AFTER ALL!

Sorry folks, it got a little hectic there for awhile at the beginning of the year with our plans to move to Canada in March and then continuously travelling for 4 months, so I haven't posted for some time now. Anyway, it's great to be back on the internet and now I can FILL YOU IN!

OASIS - An exhibition as part of the HERRING ISLAND SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL. January 2010 - Ceramics Victoria Inc

Before I left for Canada in March, I was responsible for organising and curating the OASIS exhibition on Herring Island for Ceramics Victoria Inc. Although trying to coordinate this exhibition at such a crazy time of year was challenging, it was a lot of fun and a great success!

With the help of Jen Mizuik and Leah Jackson, the exhibition went up in the first week of January and was open to the public for 3 consecutive weekends including the Australia Day holiday. We had about 30 artists of all skill levels exhibit their ceramic work alongside each other. The 4 awards that were given out for the exhibition were the Sculpture Award of $500, the Top Shelf Award of $300, the New Members Award of $200 and the Northcote Pottery prize.

The exhibition turned out to be a great success generating a high number of visitors and sales. Turns out that January was in fact a great time to put on an exhibition!
