Marjo Carter - Outstanding Ceramics!

Born in Tasmania in 1953, and now working out of Bathurst in the Central West, Marjo Carter is an outstanding ceramicist.


Marjo tells us: "Central to the aims and objectives of my work is the integrated use of clay and hand rendered letter forms. As a calligrapher, I am interested in the particular aspects and qualities which govern calligraphy and sets calligraphic writing apart from other forms of visual text. As a potter, I am interested in using clay as the medium for writing, rather than the more traditional and familiar surfaces such as paper. This in itself, is quite a challenge as clay bodies vary enormously, and differing textures and qualities have significant impact on both choice and implementation of scripts."

The gallery invites you to come and view these beautiful statement pieces. We look forward to seeing you in Molong, just 20 minutes west of the City of Orange.
