Mt Curl Pottery

A plant pot in a beautiful river blue glaze

I am making some dinner set pieces in the lovely soft grey glaze. They are practical and for every day use. This is a four setting mug, bowl and dinner plate set.
I am happy to post within Aotearoa, pm for details

The first firing at Papatowai has gone well. I have been making mugs and tumblers. They are available to buy, I can post to the North Island 😊

My kiln has been wired and set up in my new pottery studio at Papatowai. Thank you to Jenkinson Electrical for their great service. I still have a lot of unpacking and organising to do, but we are enjoying our new location at the southern coast of Te Waipounamu

My pottery studio is being packed up today for the big move south, so I have put my last Rangitikei mugs into Relish Rangitikei, the amazing cafe in Hunterville.

These mugs are from my last Rangitikei firing. We are moving in two weeks, and have to disconnect the kiln.
Our house sold a bit quicker than we expected, so are heading to Papatowai around the 11th May.
Thank you to all the people who have supported me with my pottery venture here at Hunterville, it is a wonderful rural community ❤️
Message me if you want these mugs before the 3rd, or they will be available at Relish Rangitikei after that.

As I will be moving south in a few months, I thought it would be good to have my pottery shed/ studio open for some of the Easter weekend.
It will be open from 10am to 1pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
At 407 Mt Curl Road, Hunterville

I have been experimenting making espresso cups and saucers. As people had been asking about the them.
I have two sets of four available, in the pale blue and grey/taupe glazes. The cups hold about 125 mls

I have some hand built bowls with small round feet available, they range from 12 - 22 cm across and 4 - 6 cm high
I love how the oxide enhances the texture on the bowls

Four hand built plates I made a few weeks ago, with a lavender design.
One is approx 22.5 cm and the other three are 20 - 21 cm wide

I am back in my studio after a holiday visiting family and seeing beautiful Morocco.
And I will be making mugs again soon.
My talented brother in law Keith has made me an amazing toolbox, so hopefully I won’t misplace anything now!

We have big changes happening this year with a move to Te Waipounamu.
I will have a new studio at Papatowai, so I am looking forward to making pottery there.

Old and new pottery, Morocco has a long tradition of making ceramics

I am in Morocco for a small trip, the colours and patterns are so beautiful

I will be taking a break from pottery for a few weeks over the holidays, from the 13th December

Thank you to everyone who has purchased pottery from me over the last year.
