Domesticware exhibition 2012

Friday 22nd June is the opening of ASP's first Domesticware exhibition to be held off the ASP premises.  We have hired the foyer of the Mt Eden Village Centre for a one week show.   We are curious to see how it will go, Mt Eden seems to be a great location for anything to do with the arts and hope to snare a new audience for contemporary ceramics -  in this case for high quality funcitional work.

The opening event is from 5-7pm and the show runs daily from around 9.30 until 5pm. The exhibition will be staffed by volunteers from the ASP.

Julie Collis is allocating the awards for the work.

Update:  the number of entries has far exceeded expectations and due to space constraints we are trialing having work in Reserve.  As some work will be taken by people on a Cash and Carry basis (unusual for an exhibition but needs must and all that) we will be able to replace some pieces as space becomes available.   We will see how this works.  Hopefully the award winning pieces will be able to remain on display for the duration of the show.
