JUDGE’S TOUR

The judge’s tour is always a highlight of the Portage Ceramic Awards opening festivities. Ingrid Murphy has, herself, just been shortlisted for an art prize – the British Ceramics Biennial Award. Her extensive knowledge of ceramic traditions as well as new and emerging techniques bring a unique perspective to her selection process, which she will explain as she guides us through the exhibition in conversation with this year’s award winners.

Ingrid introduces her own interactive objects and collaborative projects, and gives a demonstration in 3D Scanning and Augmenting Reality (for technophobes). This is a unique chance to meet this year’s Portage judge and gain insights on how new technologies are being used in contemporary ceramics practice.
