Another day
Fruit capital?
That's what the book says - Shepparton: Australia's fruit capital. Looks like it's fruit punch all around then, and I'm in this year's Sidney Myer Fund International Ceramic Award being held at the Shepparton Art Gallery in Victoria. I could be in sweet with the judge - Ah Xian - he's a porcelain nutter too.

Heelan Coos?
The work has been packed and shipped, and is on its way to Dundee, Scotland for the Tracelines exhibtion as part of the New Craft Future Voices International Craft Conference during July. The exhibition explores strategies in negotiating concepts of place and belonging and presents the work of four Canberra-based ceramic artists - Anita McIntyre, Maiju Altpere-Woodhead, Anna Gianais and Avi Amesbury (your humble narrator). Sadly we'll all be otherplaces but the irrepressible Emilka Radlinska is on location to keep an eye on things, and will be reporting back and putting an end to speculations about men, their underpants and those kilts.

The drinks are on us!
11 March 2007: Wheels up tommorow and we're off to Louisville, Kentucky - for the 41st annual conference of National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) - where I'll be exhibiting in the illustrious company of Carole Hanson, Lia Tajcnar, Maiju Altpere-Woodhead, Anna Gianakis, Mel Robson, Sarah Rice, Jo Searle, and Emilka Radlinska in Convergence: A north south discourse
Sadly we'll be a few months early for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival - we'd love to know how they get them in the bottle.

My friends all drive Porsches
The ice caps may be melting, the nations may be playing chicken with the Apocalypse, but the Gold Coast City Art Gallery keeps on keeping on. 25th Gold Coast International Ceramic Art Awards are on again and I'm in - 7th October to 12th November - don't forget the blockout.
To Verge! To Verge!
Come July 10, your humble narrator flies away for a week at the 11th National Ceramics Conference: Verge 2006 in Queensland - beautiful one day, perfect the next - where it will apparently rain all week be mostly fine and where I will present a paper: Valuing on-line communication and documentation in a global market.
Wish you were there: Brisbane - Wednesday, July 12 at 3:30pm
