Spring Fever is over... the event that is!

SF is a bi-annual event organised by the Suncoast Clayworkers, 15 - 19 October 2009.

Vipoo Srivilasa, Fleur Schell, Ian Jones and Shannon Garson and Jim Robison (UK)

created work before a group of mostly local clayworkers.

Great work, lots of sharing and some hands-on fun

filled four fantastic days.

Vipoo reminded us of what was possible using the most basic tools - two hands, a butter knife and a wooden skewer.

Have you seen this interesting new work from Adelaide artist Simone-Clare Hede?

It's decorative, disturbing and definitely different!

Ceramic artist Simone-Clare Hede presents her first solo exhibition of hand-built works, Populuxe, consisting of ceramic vessels depicting consumers glued to the television screen in a zombie-like trance, wall-mounted vintage automobiles and colourful TV sets featuring grotesque versions of commercials common to the 1950s.

Populuxe opens on Wed 14 October at 6pm and closes on Fri 23 October at the Nexus Multicultural Arts Centre, cnr North Terrace and Morphett Street, Adelaide.

Shown here are some of Simone-Clare's brooches which she sells through her new website.
