The Old Auction House in Kyneton is hosting Buttlejorrk’s annual art show in conjunction with Macedon Ranges Potters, featuring the stunning work of local artists across pottery, ceramics, sculpture, and more.

The exhibition showcases the talent of several local artists from the two groups, with all works also for sale.

Pieces will include stoneware, raku, porcelain, sculpture, and ceramic pieces.

Old Auction House owner and gallery director Rhain DiPilla said that the exhibition presents a diverse range of styles, glazes and approaches.

“We love seeing … how each artist can sort of meld the same materials to very different finishes and outcomes and uses,” Ms DiPilla said.

Connected with the exhibition, Macedon Ranges Potters will also launch their book titled The Potters Kitchen, featuring members’ favourite recipes and including photographs of their handmade plates, cups, and dinnerware at work.

Originally formed in 1976, Buttlejorrk is a collective of artists from Macedon Ranges and Sunbury, with the name Buttlejorrk referring to the area located to the west of Sunbury.

Buttlejorrk’s annual art show will run until Tuesday, December 24 and The Potters Kitchen book will launch at an event on Saturday, November 30, from 2–4pm at the Old Auction House, 52-56 Mollison Street, Kyneton.

The venue is open every day from 10am–4pm.
