'Tis early practice only makes the master....thus think many parents and thus thought Semral Öztan when she opened her students‘ ceramic exhibition at the Ismet Güney Art Centre last week. Semral has her studio in Kücük Kaymakli where students of all ages get together to learn the fascination of ceramic art as the most basic activity of the human race.

 

When you are able to make your own dish and cup you have learnt the first step for survival, the next step is to fill them which you will be taught in school.

In this respect the world has not changed, although researchers go on inventing the most incredible, often useless things, the profession of a potter or ceramic artist is still most present in the art scene and appreciated worldwide. Semral Öztan is the President of the North Cypriot Ceramists’ Association and has for many years taught the art in schools and on private basis.
