'Aberdeen to Durban' - NICOLé MAUREL - at KZNSA

'Aberdeen to Durban' - NICOLé MAUREL - at KZNSA

Date: 2014-02-21
Nicolé Maurel was the winner of the 2011 Emma Smith Art Scholarship and received R40 000 to work on a project. Maurel stayed in Aberdeen, a small town in the Karoo, Eastern Cape for four months to teach ceramics to a group of highly talented and creative individuals from the Coloured community. During her stay in Aberdeen she assisted in teaching them how to work with clay, glaze technology and firing techniques. Artist Hillary Graham organized this workshop in order to give this community a chance to develop skills towards becoming self-reliant. Maurel aims to enrich and uplift the selected Aberdeen ceramic artists' lives. There are no contemporary art galleries in Aberdeen. These people live in very poor circumstances, with a high chance of unemployment and therefore never had the opportunity to travel anywhere else and experience contemporary art galleries.
