Memory Of The Day Vase
Amy Briggs
A memory of the days when people would stand together in protest.
Each ceramic artwork and product at Kaiela Arts is hand-moulded by our artists using a variety of clay, including Buff Raku Trachyte, White Raku, Terracotta, Porcelain, and river clay gathered from the banks and wetlands on Yorta Yorta Country. Various glazes are also utilised by our artists, and they often use the sgraffito technique, carving into the clay’s surface to reveal layered stories of Country, memory, and cultural knowledge.
This practice is supported through our dedicated ceramics program, led by esteemed ceramicist Kaye Poulton. With guidance and mentorship, our artists have embraced the medium of clay as a vessel of self-determination and cultural renewal. Through clay and fire, our artists continue to inscribe stories that honour the past while shaping a future that is both enduring and evolving. This program strengthens cultural practice, creates employment, and provides new creative pathways for our artists.
By purchasing a Kaiela Arts ceramic piece, you are directly supporting the continuation of these stories and the livelihoods of our artists and their families.

About the Artist
Amy Briggs
Amy Briggs is a proud Yorta Yorta woman, artist, mother, and grandmother. Born in Mooroopna and raised on the banks of the Dungala at the Cummeragunja Mission, in Barmah, Vic. Amy’s deep connection to Country, culture, and community shapes every part of her practice.
Working across painting, ceramics, and watercolour, Amy’s art is a vibrant expression of memory, story, and strength. Her creative journey is grounded in collective making - particularly through her involvement with Kaiela Arts’ Elders group. “As an artist,” she says, “I love the amazing and inspiring journey with our group of Elders, coming together, working on our art, and telling our stories. The gallery is a place of learning, healing, and hope.”
Amy’s work has been featured in major exhibitions, including Keep The Fire Burning (2024) and Melbourne Art Fair, and in 2025 her artwork was proudly showcased on one of Melbourne’s iconic art trams, sharing her story with the broader public. Her practice continues to honour the legacy of her ancestors while nurturing the cultural strength of future generations.
