Welcome to our Second Term for 2019! 2019 is our Year of Local Artists. Daylesford is rich in artistic talent and DNC will celebrate a different local artist every term. Term 2 Petrus Spronk Petrus Spronk was born in Holland and emigrated to Australia in 1957. He completed undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the South Australian School of Arts in the late 1960s, majoring in sculpture and ceramics. During the early 1970s, he lectured at Perth Technical College before adopting a per- ipatetic life, conducting workshops up and down the Western Australian coast, and spending eight years in travel to Northern Europe, America, Greece and Turkey. Returning to Australia in 1983, he set up a workshop at Flinders Ranges, SA, later moving to Daylesford, Victoria, where he still lives and works. He makes bowls of primal power, black in colour, burnished to look like coal, sometimes broken and reassembled, and decorated with gold in the manner of an icon. He is also known for a number of public commis- sions. Because his work is so distinctive, he doesn't need to sign it but leaves a spiral on the bottom of the bowl instead. To express interest in Petrus’ Ceramics or upcoming exhibition, please call Petrus on +61 437 668 090 email: art@petrusspronk.com
