Expressions of the Earth

Esperance Pottery Club

Since 1984, the Esperance Pottery Club has brought people together through the shared joy of working with clay. From beginners to experienced makers, the community has grown into a lively hub where everyone can get their hands dirty and bring ideas to life.

Expressions of Earth is an exhibition celebrating the talent and passion of our local ceramic artists. Featuring a diverse mix of sculptural and functional works, the show also includes a collection of firepit-fired ceramics - pieces shaped by flame and earth in a local communal firing.

This year, Expressions of the Earth also forms part of Wedge: the Australian Ceramics Triennial, the nation’s leading event for contemporary ceramics. As a satellite exhibition, it brings a distinctly regional perspective from Kepa Kurl/Esperance, with local maker Krystal Obschonka represented in the Triennial and others travelling to join the national symposium.

This vibrant exhibition reflects the textures, tones, and stories of our region. From delicate forms to earthy vessels, each work invites you to experience the beauty of clay in its many expressions.

Featuring work by Carol Byfield, Kelsey Clark, Jen Ford, Kath Guest, Hanna Kim, Claire Mitchell, Krystal Obschonka, Karen Ritchie, Catherine Roberts, Antoinette Vincent, Katie Witt, and Roslyn Woodhouse.
