Sydney Ceramics Galleries

There are some excellent galleries in Sydney that focus on displaying the work of local artists and providing exhibition space.

I am sure its a labour of love for most of the gallery owners as the market is not large and the work required to mount a successful exhibition is significant.

• Crackpot at Freshwater, regularly changing exhibits of local ceramics from Northern Beaches artists. Sadly Crackpot has recently closed.

• Chinaclay in Clovelly, combines a florist with a ceramics gallery “representing over 20 independent small batch ceramics artists”

• Kerrie Lowe at Newtown, “specialises in contemporary ceramics and aims to show the huge diversity and high standard of work made by members of the Australian ceramics community”

• Sabbia in Redfern, aims to represent “ Australia’s finest contemporary artists, focusing on ceramics, glass and fibre”

If in the mood to travel further afield, the Sturt gallery in Mittagong always has an eclectic mix of work with a focus furniture and ceramics. Sturt gallery is also soon to close, a real loss to the ceramics community
