A report by Janet DeBoos on the Material Matters conference at ANU
 In a world where there is an increasing reliance on mediated experience, there is a case for materiality; but what does it mean, particularly with respect to ceramics? Material Matters, an event (or more accurately, a series of events) in Canberra that took place over four weeks in August this year, sought to examine this question as well as provide a forum for speakers who told stories of their relationship to their material.

Part 1: The Workshop at Tallarook by Sandra Bowkett, potter and coordinator of Crosshatched Projects
 In early 2011, Ann Ferguson and Rajasthani potters, Manohar Lal and
Dharmveer, came to stay on my property in central Victoria. I valued the
opportunity to work beside them observing, in particular, Manohar Lal’s
depth of knowledge gained from a heritage of generations and his
lifetime of working with clay. The experience has made me aware of where
the parameters of my ceramic practice lie. From the making to the
firing, the journey through fundamentals of the ceramic process has been
refreshing.
