SOOTY WELSH - COONAMBLE //
About the artist:
Sooty is a Wayilwan Elder and ceramic artist, who makes hand-crafted pots and functional pieces, richly glazed and marked with unique markings. These are the designs that are inspired by the ancient Wayilwan markings that have been found carved on the trees and into the land in the region. Sooty returned to his hometown of Coonamble after living most of his life in Sydney. Deeply committed to community and cultural strength, Uncle Sooty believes in the creative potential of his people and is passionate about inspiring others through workshops and guest appearances.
Sooty is always happy to take up his other creative pursuits to keep himself inspired. When he has had enough of ceramics, he may turn to photography, which he loves, or even to traditional artifact making. The important thing to him is that he maintains his creativity, for his story, for his understanding, and for his health.
