Event Description: Alchemy of Porcelain, An Exhibition of Contemporary Ceramics By Ted Secombe from Australia

Alchemy of Porcelain, by Australian artist Ted Secombe is a result of theTrust’s vision for the future, to get an increasing number of ceramists to India and to expand the scope of the global exchange of ideas.

Ted Secombe is regarded as one of Australia’s most significant and accomplished ceramic artists. After almost 4 decades at his potters wheel, Ted says that making pots is more challenging now than when he first began, as his motivation is purely the expression of his ideas and creativity. He has now developed a mastery of the medium that allows him to take his experimentation further than ever before. Ted is known for his beautiful and graceful forms and crystalline glazes, that are rich in colour, and delicate in texture and patterning. He is constantly experimenting and developing his glazes, some of which are reminiscent of ancient Chinese glazes. The methods for producing the works are very detailed using multi-layering of colour similar to the textile processes of Asia.

“My current work has emanated from my experiences exhibiting inJapan and India. In both countries, I was overwhelmed by the beauty and visual feast offered by their textiles. The mastery of design coupled with an innate ability to blend and match colour drawn from a long history of involvement with process has influenced my glaze palette. The division of colour on many of the works are a direct reference to the Japanese Kimono. The broad colour spectrum used, finds its influence in the bazaars of India”.Ted Secombe

The trust promotes activities which include two annual events: theCeramicsFest for Ceramic artists and the Terrafest for traditional terracotta artists, exhibitions, workshops, lectures, demonstrations and pottery related social programmes. It runs two studios where classes are held all year round.
