Pushing Clay Uphill – Forsyth Barr Contemporary Ceramics Award
Forsyth Barr, Arts Council Nelson and Nelson Clay Week are proud to announce an exhibition of finalists for this new biennial award. Featuring original artworks that stretch the boundaries of clay practice and challenge the more traditional views of this medium.
While entries must predominantly feature clay, artists may use any technique, or a mix of techniques, to create two- or three-dimensional pieces.
The selected finalists artworks will be on display at the Refinery ArtSpace, as part of Nelson Clay Week, from 1 to 15 October 2022 with the award winner announced on opening night. You are warmly invited to the opening celebration 5.30pm Saturday 1st October.
