There’s no question that I’m a big fan of beautiful handmade ceramics – both functional and purely decorative. I wanted to share a recent exhibition, Endemic Earth, because I love the different ways the artists have been inspired by botanicals unique to Tasmania. Endemic Earth is a collection of work by 22 contemporary Australian ceramicists curated by Amber Creswell Bell and Caroline Davies Choi. The exhibition formed part of the 15th Australian Ceramics Triennale – these are some of the pieces that caught my eye.
