Welcome to my Website

I am a studio potter based in Hamilton, New Zealand and specialise mainly in wheel thrown work. I also enjoy wood firing and vapour glazing.
My Gallery page has links to my picture galleries and information about why I make these kinds of pots.
Another of my interests is kiln designs and I have built a number of wood fired, gas and diesel fired kilns, see these on the Kilns page along with other radical kiln ideas.
My Glaze pages contain a basic glaze course and information useful for exploring the world of glazing
The Information page has my contact details, my gallery contacts and lots more.

This Month

Kiln Building Workshop

Dates: Starting Saturday 28th April
Location: Webster Rd, Matangi, Hamilton
Tutor: Duncan Shearer
Cost: $40 per day on the days Duncan is there, free if you come to help on other days.
This kiln building project is being re-structured to be more accommodating. Duncan will be present on fewer days to oversee the build and to teach kiln building. More days have been scheduled with John and Jenni where help will be gratefully accepted to build the kiln to the next stage. So the schedule now looks like this:

Duncan's teaching days (and when key building decisions are being made)
Saturday 28th April, Friday 4th May, Friday 18th May, Saturday 26th May (10am to 4pm)

Other sessions are every Wednesday (excluding week from 7th to 13th May). For more details call Jenni on 07 8566149

During the teaching days students will learn about the principles governing kiln design, brick laying and refractories.
