Potters No Longer With Us
CAPE TIMES ARTICLE : September 13 2011 at 01:03pm
SEVENTY-SEVEN thousand years ago on a cold, wet Western Cape winter’s day, a local potter was sheltering in her cave at Blombos on the south coast near Klein Kliphuis.
She picked up a piece of clay-like ochre, and scratched on the surface an abstract rendering of the rain slashing down outside. This object survived and is the oldest known art work in the world. .......

| Enige Iemand wat kan Help? |
|
|
| 'n Werknemer van my se seun is verstandelik vertraag, maar hy het 'n passie vir pottebakkery wat hy by die skool geleer het. Hulle bekommernis is dat hy hierdie jaar die skool moet verlaat (18 jarig) en hulle nie weet hoe om te maak om hom in staat te stel om te kan voortgaan met pottebakkery nie. Hulle is finansieël nie in 'n posisie om self enigsins iets vir hom te doen nie, en woon in 'n woonstel, wat dit onmoontlik maak om vir hom die nodige toerusting aan te skaf. Ek wil graag 'n beroep op u doen om oorweging te skenk aan die gedagte om dalk die ouers en seun te woord te staan en hom moontlik in u onderneming te gebruik........

| What exactly is clay? |
|
|
| SERINAS SNIPPETS
So you’ve heard that some minerals like kaolin and bentonite are called clays while others are not clays. What exactly does this mean? What makes one mineral a clay and another not?

| Highlights from the first Jakarta ceramic biennale |
|
|
|
In 1976, the late Indonesian ceramist Hildawati Soemantri broke through all conventions by holding an installation, the first ever in Jakarta, consisting of broken ceramic parts to reveal life’s fragile state.
But while she proved ceramics to be a worthy medium for personal expression, it has remained in the backseat of contemporary art.
