FOCUS: HEALTH & GROWTH
CLAY IN TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICE
REGENERATIVE CERAMICS
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION IN CERAMICS
TRANSFORMING A SMALL KILN TO WOODFIRED
What does a healthy ceramics community look like? How is it that this magical material shifts our thinking, heals our bodies, and creates social connection in such a universal manner? What are the considerations we should be prioritising to develop a positive and culturally respectful practice? Is it time (or perhaps it is well beyond time) to be questioning the power structures within clay culture? What are the realities of people working in the discipline of ceramics today, and how do they feel about the varied hierarchies and the significant hurdles involved in developing skill, technical knowledge, and creative thinking?
In these pages, we hear from ingenious makers who have quite literally rebuilt their world from the remnants of angry bushfires, and others who are working in therapeutic practice with clay, or growing and healing within community. We see inside practices that are holding space for big questions about existing alongside difficulty and crisis, and the startling and moving work that results. We hope you enjoy reading these stories of health-focused care and creative growth. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this Journal for everything you do to bring these stories to life.
