Korowa recently hosted its first-ever Ceramic Art Prize and Exhibition — and what a successful weekend it was! Held Korowa’s Gallery Ranfurlie, the event welcomed art enthusiasts, collectors, students, families, and members of the wider community to celebrate the vibrant world of Australian ceramics.

With over 70 exceptional entries from across Victoria, the exhibition featured a dynamic mix of works from established ceramicists, emerging artists, and talented secondary students. From bold sculptural statements to finely crafted functional pieces, every artwork told a story of innovation, technique, and creativity.

Visitors had the opportunity to view — and in some cases, purchase — truly one-of-a-kind pieces. For many, it was not just a chance to admire the art, but to take a piece of it home. All funds raised from sales will go directly towards supporting the creative pursuits of Korowa students, helping to nurture the next generation of Australian artists and designers.

We congratulate all the artists who participated in this outstanding celebration of ceramic artistry. Special recognition goes to our prize winners:

Events like the Ceramic Art Prize highlight Korowa’s strong commitment to fostering creativity and providing meaningful opportunities for students to engage with the arts. The exhibition was a celebration of talent, imagination and community — bringing people together through a shared appreciation of craftsmanship and artistic expression.

Whether you have a passion for ceramics, an interest in supporting local artists, or simply enjoy exploring creative events, this exhibition offered something special. We’re proud to have hosted such a vibrant showcase and look forward to welcoming the community back next year.
