Josephine Townsend Ceramics

Open studio
Josephine Townsend Ceramic’s Open Studio is open at 10:00am – 4:00pm on Saturday, 19 November at 40 Davis Street, Weetangera, ACT.
Josephine Townsend makes functional work, sculptural items and jewellery. She is inspired by the way that forms, shapes and patterns repeat infinitely and evolve in nature. Tree roots branch out in the same way that rivulets run, flames flicker and branches divide. Her forms are all made to be touched, with surfaces colours and curves that invite exploration.
One component of her work is printing photographs on her work, she has done tiled bathroom installations as well as printing images on her functional ware. Visitors can to meet the maker and for works to be available for purchase, including Garden sculptures and bird baths, home wares and decorator items, porcelain and sterling silver jewellery and a sale table of old stock/seconds.

DESIGN Canberra acknowledges the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the ACT and surrounding areas. We honour and respect their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. We aim to respect cultural heritage, customs and beliefs of all Indigenous people.
