Inherent Joys Past Event

Presented by Angelo Ooi


Inherent Joys is an exhibition showcasing a series of functional ceramic works that explores finding joy through everyday objects. Pottery is a commonplace yet unique item which can be cherished, used and appreciated in everyday life. These utilitarian vessels are used every day across the world, and each carry their own individual voice, story and identity. Made from scratch these handmade pieces encourage people to look beyond the generic mass-produced ceramic ware. It also asks people to consider the relationship between the production, materials and sustainability. Handmade ceramics are not only unique and aesthetically beautiful but also challenge how we treat these objects, and as such last a longer time.

This exhibition will be open from Wednesday 9 March – Sunday 27 March with the opening event taking place on Friday 11 March from 6-8pm at Clan Collective.
