CV
Welcome.

Thank you for being curious.

To satisfy overwhelming demand for images of my work and information on my methods, I provide:
         this 190+ page website,
         a blog
         videos (YouTube and Vimeo) 
         studio classes in inner city Perth, plus
         340+ workshops, conferences and symposia, in a dozen countries.  
​
Ideas
I have a deep interest in the social organisation around ceramics, and the arts (anthropology/ sociology).  

Although, Initially I was inspired by architecture and local plants (see 6 February 2008 in my blog).  

Since then I have increasingly been inspired by theories of non-organisational social networks.  

As a professional artist, and freelance art educator (or Teaching Artist or Portfolio Worker), these art social networks have provided both creative stimulation and professional opportunity.  


Medium
I hope my ceramic paper clay work  suggests the cycles, rigidities and dynamic nature of our society, and myself. 

Since 1994 my compressed paper sculptures are a way to silence the textual chatter and overload of office work research, correspondence and mail.  Despite the promise of the "paperless office" we still have a strange emotional attachment with paper. Read more. 


Exhibiting
Growing interest in my work has lead to invitations to  participate in  interstate and international exhibitions. These fed my appetite to learn about how the globally arts and crafts are organised. 


Teaching
​I accept interstate and overseas teaching and exhibiting requests, but with a young family I currently limit my time away to about a month per year. 

A big "thank you" to the many people who have kindly shared their experiences and information with me. 

I hope this website will in someway repay their kindness, by sharing with you what I have learnt from them. 

Cheers

This website was first created to share information on paper clay, as it was not widely available.  This was before textbooks and when there were only a few scattered journal articles.  It grew into the documentation of art projects and listing of upcoming learning opportunities.   It is a symbolic “thank you” to the many thousands who participated in events I led, who shared so generously their techniques and personal stories.  This enriched both myself and ultimately my future students.  Ultimately it is a gift to the next generation of potters, artists and art students.  I hope it inspires you, informs you and provides an example of the sort of creative journey you have or are about to begin. Enjoy your travels!  Cheers! Graham
