Featured Artist: Vincenza Fazzalori
In 1982 I established my first pottery studio in Challis Street, Newport before moving to NSW to study at Sydney College of the Arts. A career in Visual Arts Education including roles at regional and state level followed. On returning to Melbourne in the mid 2000’s I re-established my multi-disciplinary arts practice and now work from a Creative Spaces managed arts space alongside a community of 60+ artists.
I create and produce arts and cultural events, deliver social inclusion arts programs for ageing and disability communities, and make small production runs of handmade artisan ceramic beads and functional objects. When the table top is clear of clay dust I indulge in collage and printmaking.
My work draws upon personal histories narrated through form, image, and text in collaboration with poets. The memories of playing in open paddocks of iron-rich red mallee soils and digging up clumps of clay from Central Victorian creek beds still resonates with me today.
