VITRIFIED

An exhibition by award winning ceramists Lookout Sibanda, Sinethemba Xola and Sarah Stroud. Situated at the GFI Art Gallery in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, South Africa. VITRIFIED speaks to the transformative nature of ceramic art – a process where raw material is shaped, fired, and refined into enduring beauty. Each artist’s work has undergone both literal and figurative trials by fire.

For our award-winning artists, Lookout Sibanda, Sinethemba Xola and Sarah Stroud, their work has not only been tested in the kiln but also through the rigors of competition, emerging with technical excellence and artistic distinction during the Annual Eastern Cape Regional Ceramic Exhibition in 2024. Their triumph has led them to this group exhibition in celebration of their skill and resilience.
