In this latest edition of our Artist of the Month series, we celebrate the extraordinary diversity and vitality of contemporary South African ceramics. We focus particularly on recent works by 10 women ceramists, who have become renowned for their striking, individual contributions to the art of clay:

Louise Gelderblom, Clementina van der Walt, Wiebke von Bismarck, Helen Vaughan, Laura du Toit, Martine Jackson, Carolyn Heydenrych, Melanie Hillebrand, Kendal Warren and Sisanda Mbana.

"We don't need to agonise over the boundaries between 'art' and 'craft' any more than we should be separating art and life. The boundary is between the creative exuberance of being human and the monotony of an existence dependent on mass production - objects, food, values, aspirations.

Making is personal.

Making is shared.

Making is a celebration of who we are."

(Jeanette Winterson: From her catalogue essay of the Jerwood Contemporary Makers Exhibition, Kilkenny, Ireland 2011).
