Calling all clay artists!: Refinery ArtSpace

Calling all clay artists!
There is an exciting new opportunity to stretch the boundaries of your clay practice and challenge the more traditional views of this medium.
@ForsythBarr, @nelson.arts.council and @NelsonClayWeek are proud to present Pushing Clay Uphill – Forsyth Barr Ceramics Award and Exhibition, a celebration and recognition of innovative contemporary ceramic art.
Whether you work solely with clay, or clay is the main raw material in your mixed media practice, you are invited to use any technique of your choice to create two- or three-dimensional pieces.
The selected artworks will be on display at the Refinery ArtSpace during Nelson Clay Week with the award winner announced on opening night.
For more information, please visit the Arts Council Nelson website.
