Lone White - Ceramist

Sun 26th Oct to Sun 23rd Nov 25

I have played with clay and glazes since 1978 and during most of that time I have lived in Cairns. A lot of my ceramic art works have been inspired by my surrounds - the reef and rainforest.

Frequent travels throughout the Middle East, South-East Asia, Japan, China, Russia & Europe observing traditional techniques, visits to major museum collections of Sung Dynasty ceramics and exposure to modern innovations have provided an ability to approach works with a flexibility to adjust techniques to reflect ideas - or perhaps moods.

For the last few years, I have been working on a series called "Flower inspired ceramic forms". I have wanted to give my pots, texture, flow and movement. To do that I have been using paper clay which makes it possible to make intricate forms related to seeds, bark, etc. All the ten works have been fired in oxidation at varying temperatures from 1200 to 1280 degrees C.
