SODA had the pleasure of  hosting several fabulous International ceramics artists at SODA including Robert and Elaine Shay from Kentucky, Alexis Gregg and Tanner Coleman from California and Lesa Farrant from Australia.

2011 was also a year to bid fair well to the three permanent resident artists  who have been at SODA for three years. Alana McVeigh, Karen Miller and Rachel Zimmermann brought unrivaled energy, warmth and  generosity and great creative focus to the studios at SODA. Their presence and amazing talents will be sadly missed gracing the corridors of SODA. Thank you to these three remarkable and inspiring artists for their contribution to the growth of the Ceramic arts of Western Australia. They are three Australian artists to keep a close eye on in the future so if you would like to follow the careers of Alana McVeigh, Karen Miller and Rachel Zimmermann all three  have great web presence through the following:

  • Alana McVeigh:  www.ceramicarts.dhmedia.com.au
  • Karen Millar: www.karenmillar.com.au
  • Rachel Zimmermann: www.rachelzimmermann.com
In  2012 SODA  will be hosting emerging ceramist  Curt McDonald as part of a mentor program.  Curt is originally from Illinois and with his wife Leonie lived many years  in New York before returning to Leonie’s home state of Western Australia to raise their two young boys. The McDonald family will be permanent fixtures in the studio’s at SODA for the next 6 months while Curt focuses on a body of work related to architectural ceramics.
In October 2012 SODA will be hosting three fabulous International Ceramic artists – Adil Writer from India, Katrina Chaytor from Canada and Stefan Jakobs from Switzerland.   They are coming to Perth as part of a clay festival soon to be announced. Watch this space!!!!
