Clunes Ceramic Award | 2022

The Clunes Ceramic Award is an initiative of Creative Clunes Inc. and is in partnership with the Art Gallery of Ballarat and the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historial Museum.

A biennial event, the Award was first held in 2009. The success of the first, and following, has ensured that The Clunes Ceramic Award will continue to develop as a respected and highly prized Regional Arts Event.

From 150 entries, there are 47 finalists with their artworks included as part of an exhibition.

I was thrilled to have been nominated as a finalist for my artwork ‘Tide’.
