SA Clay Awards 2024
Rust-en-Vrede Gallery | 2 NOV - 7 DEC 2024 | Durbanville, Cape Town, SA
Inaugural SA Clay Awards Exhibition Showcases Ceramic Excellence
Prompted by its acceptance as an affiliate member of the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC), The Rust-en-Vrede Gallery + Clay Museum has announced the launch of the inaugural SA Clay Awards, which will exhibit its winning pieces from 2 November to 7 December 2024 for the first time.
As an organisation affiliated to Unesco and devoted to ceramic excellence, the IAC nod was seen as a fittingly momentous opportunity to propose a new biennale award and exhibition, in recognition of the wealth of skill and talent in the South African ceramics landscape.

SELECTED WORK
Choice Assorted XIII | 2024 | Hand-cast ceramic biscuits | 82 x 82 cm | Framed with AR70 UV Glass
In order to memorialise intimacy of the social space, the assorted biscuits function as still lives - snapshots of moments in our past. Choice Assorted XIII speaks to the passing of time by memorialising everyday objects that would never make it into the archive - the ceramic biscuits become a collection of little pleasures that encompass us in daily life. They draw from the nostalgia embedded within memory such that when you encounter one of them you are transported back to your last bite and reminded of whoever you might have shared it with.
