 Dee Taylor Graham discusses utility: fitness for some purpose or worth to some end
My initial intention in writing this paper and considering the idea of utility,
noun \yü-ˈti-lə-tē\
1. fitness for some purpose or worth to some end,
was to wax lyrical on one of my favourite themes – the lunacy of displaying functional pots on plinths. Or to phrase it more gently, the potential role of functional ceramics in a relational art practice.

A preview by Janet Mansfield
O ne of the important and contemporary
practices in ceramic art is the growing interest in woodfiring for the
beauty of the effects and the individual expression that can be
achieved. Australia is an ideal country for such a practice with its
plentiful supply of wood of different varieties, its raw materials, open
spaces and, above all, the pioneering character of its people who are
prepared to work hard and experiment with the technology. This growing
interest has led to regular specialised conferences (the first in
Gippsland in 1986) where like-minded potters can gather, discuss new
ideas, learn from each other and view advances made in their field
through exhibitions, lectures, discussions and demonstrations.
