Susan Frost's minimalist forms explore subtle gradations of colour and tone.

Through meticulous glazing techniques, she creates an evolving spectrum of hues that span rich creams and lemon yellows, through to vintage greens and inky blues.  This palette is applied to the surfaces of an unfolding progression of functional vessels in varying sizes that have been wheel thrown in Lumina porcelain.  Frost uses the evocative properties of colour to highlight the sculptural qualities of form, which she exploits to its fullest potential with interlocking works that stack and nest together.

For Showcase #16, Frost has expanded her practice with the introduction of surface decoration.  Geometric structures, repetitive patterning and grids are executed with a restrained precision and used to create a cohesive whole.

The Finders Keepers is a design market, that features the work of independent makers from across Australia.  Founded in 2008, the Finders Keepers has now grown to be Australia's leading design market.

Table Talk, a celebration of all things table ware from a selection of Australian ceramic artists.

In honour of a humble and treasured domestic object.

Opening drinks, Saturday 8 August 3-5pm

The favourite cup, you know.... the one that holds just the right amount, has the perfect handle, looks good, feels good to hold or perhaps holds a memory.  It is a simple pleasure to hold and drink from the perfect cup. It can embody the ritual significance in our daily cycles; punctuation moments of escape, reflection, communion or sustenance.

38 potters, ceramicists, artists.... whatever terms they care to use (from all around the country) have made cups that will delight you. They are Glenn Barkley, Vanessa Bean, Susie Bell, Bridget Bodenham, Anthony Brink, Tara Burke, Trisha Dean, Lynda Draper, Helen Earl, Erinswindow, Janna Ferris, Cath Fogarty, Susan Frost, Charlotte Gaborit, Shannon Garson, Val Gordon, Phil Hart, Kate Jones, Bronwyn Kemp, King & Co, Sandy Lockwood, Sophie Moran, Cath O'Gorman, Sassy Park, Aleida Pullar, Tania Rollond, Janine Schenkel, Rob Slingsby, Jane Sawyer, Jen Lyall, Tracey Mitchell, Timna Taylor, Ulrica Trulsson, Natalie Velthuyzen, Toni Warburton, Gerry Wedd, Bernd Weiss and Alana Wilson.

October 2014 marks the 3 year anniversary of Council of Objects opening it's doors to the public. To celebrate a select group of artists were invited to participate in 'SET',

Each artist was asked to create a small selection of work to represent a table setting.
These pieces would need to be re-created as an entire setting if requested. Makers were asked to produce an interpretation of the following:

- a spoon

- a plate OR platter

- a side plate OR small bowl

- beaker OR pourer OR both

- a vase OR planter

Emphasising both luxury and utility and fitting within a space of 450 x 450mm.

Group exhibition featuring local SA artists at Art Images.

Solo exhibition in Gallery 2 at JamFactory Contemporary Craft & Design.

Susan Frost plays with the interrelationships of colour and form by stacking, nesting and arranging her porcelain vessels. The immersive nature of colour is exploited here whilst its unifying properties serve to highlight the sculptural qualities of her domestic objects.

Curator: Susan Ostling

The Australian Ceramics Association received 94 proposals for the exhibition which made the selection enormously difficult. Twenty nine (29) proposals were successful. 
The artists selected are Mollie Bosworth, Amanda Bromfield, Kirsten Coelho, Greg Daly, John Dermer, Kate Dorrough, Lynda Draper, Merran Esson, Fiona Fell, Cathy Franzi, Simone Fraser, Neville French, Susan Frost, Shannon Garson, Steve Harrison, Fiona Hiscock, Janetta Kerr-Grant, Diamando Koutsellis, Kylie Rose McLean, Sarah Ormonde, Vicki Passlow, Dianne Peach, Julie Pennington, Robyn Phelan, Ben Richardson, Tania Rollond, Liz Stops, Prue Venables and Toni Warburton.

In selecting proposals, Susan Ostling said, “My aim was to look for work that showed either a high degree of resolution or a high degree of experimentation and inquiry in a particular direction. And while there was not a theme to the exhibition, I felt sure there would be affinities and correspondences in the range of work currently being made. This has indeed occurred with the following threads emerging from the selected proposals: the environment and nature as a source for ideas; the aesthetics of still life; rigorous material investigation; the figure as a source of delight and wonder; and aspects of function. I feel sure the exhibition will take the pulse and map the interesting ceramic practice and inquiry that is taking place as well as of course, stimulate enthusiastic discussion!”
