Each pinch mark adds texture and a documentation of time and process. This piece is one of several ongoing explorations that starts with the idea of contrasting the lightness of clouds - ever gently shifting in form and colour- to the ceramic materials themselves; heavy, permanent and shifting poetically only when inside the closed box of the kiln. The work is not a comment on the weather, but instead a use of a form that everyone sees and is able to see something in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fQLpxn eoOGDx\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDawn Vachon is a Canadian born ceramic artist and potter living in Coburg (Melbourne\/Naarm). Dawn works with both wheel throwing and hand building techniques, on a range of ceramic pieces from everyday functional through to decorative and purely sculptural. Her practice explores the freedom and constraints of the ceramic medium and materials. Although undeniably Ceramic, through collaboration with heat she also endeavors to enlist the tension of an element of the ephemeral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDawn received a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (Vancouver) in 2008.  Her work was highly commended at the North Queensland Ceramic Art Awards, 2018, and was acquired by the Gold Coast City Gallery, QLD, in 2016.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e ceramic, slip, glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003eapprox.  23 x 26 x 17cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eZSpzM dTSawo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bAehkN eXOdeP phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gahYZc osAnh phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eZSpzM dTSawo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bAehkN eXOdeP phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-gahYZc osAnh phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dawn Vachon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48056729600218,"sku":"C-DV106","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/5002\/files\/412_Craft_Product_June_2026_C_Armstrong.jpg?v=1782363306","url":"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/products\/dawn-vachon-flit-flump","provider":"SHOP@Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
