PAPAKURA

The Papakura Potters are exploring vessels, vases and other containers in contemporary ceramics in an exhibition Adventures with Clay running until 12 September at Papakura Art Gallery.

Club member Toos van de Graaf says the show will feature pieces created using a range of techniques. The exhibition has been an opportunity for members to work together to create individual pieces for the exhibition.

“Clay is a medium for all people to enjoy. There are many ways of crafting objects from clay. It is an exploration of your creativity.”

In addition to their exhibition the Papakura Potters are also holding their first Work Room Sale at the Papakura Art Gallery. Artists will be clearing their shelves to make room for new work. Items in the Work Room Sale will be priced from $5.00.

Papakura Potters meet every from Thursday 6.00 pm onwards. Telephone Toos van de Graaf 278-6178 for more information.
