Born in Prague, Czech Republic in 1949, Rudolf Sibrava migrated to Australia in 1969. In 1980 he settled in Tasmania and studied ceramics at the Tasmanian State Institute of Technology (now the University of Tasmania). In 1989 Sibrava established Artisan Pottery with fellow potter, Lisa Boyter.
Rudolf's current work exhibits his mastery of the technique of hand throwing. Using stoneware clays he compliments his simple classic forms of vases and bowls with complex, vibrant glazes. By layering up to three different glazes he manipulates the colours and visual effects of his finished pieces. Sibrava's ceramics are all functional, can hold water and are dishwasher-safe. |
