Pottery entries strong
More than 300 entries, including 30 from overseas, had been received for the 1985 Fletcher Brownbuilt Pottery Award. Overseas potters from eight countries have submitted works for the $5,009 award. For the first time in the award’s nine year history, entries have been received from West Germany, Hong Kong and Ireland. Other countries represented are New Zealand, Australia, the United States, India, England and Japan.
The annual award is to be judged this year by a Pol-ish-born ceramic artist who is working in Australia. She is Maria Teresa Kuczynska, a past gold medallist (1978) and grand prize winner (1979) at the Faenza International Ceramic Competition in Italy. Ms Kuczynska, in 1980, held a solo exhibition and was an invited member of the jury panel for the prestigious Faenza competition. At present she is artist in residence at the Canberra
School of Art Ceramics Workshop. She studied sculpture at the Academy of Art, Gdansk in Poland and has exhibited in Belgium, Poland, Italy, France, West Germany, Hungary and Australia. This year’s Fletcher Brownbuilt Pottery Award will be announced in the Auckland War Memorial Museum on Friday. The award exhibition will be open to the public at the museum from June 1 to June 16.
