Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery

Friday, 12 September 2014 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (AWST)

Crawley, WA

Join
us for a discussion between Associate Professor Andrew Rate from the
School of Earth and Environment and ceramic artists Andrea Vinkovic and
Stephanie Hammill.

The
use of clay as both artistic medium and source of scientific enquiry
will form the basis of this discussion. Andrew Rate has conducted the
specific analytical application of Powder X-ray Diffraction on selected
clay and glaze materials used by exhibiting artists.

Some
of this has been collected from diverse areas of the state. The results
are to be revealed in conversation with the artists who offer their own
perspectives in relation to their artistic practice.
