Auckland Studio Potters: AiR3 20 February - 13 April 2025

Opening Event: Thursday 20 February 6 - 8pm

The Artist in Residence programme was established at Auckland Studio Potters in 2019. Applications are called from national and international potters and ceramicists to spend up to three months in one of ASP’s two pod studios on the Centre’s grounds in Onehunga, Tāmaki Makaurau. The ASP committee has identified the residency programme as having the potential to stoke the local fires of a resurgence in ceramic arts worldwide and to provide a creative hub for experimental and traditional ceramics in New Zealand. Resident artists help around the centre and teach where possible and in doing so become valuable contributors to the centre’s whanaungatanga and shared sense of community.

AiR3 marks Auckland Studio Potters’ third Artist in Residence exhibition showcasing the work of the residents at ASP during 2024. It is a testament to their commitment to developing ASP as a creative institution, its members, and New Zealand ceramics. This is done by looking both inward at the unique inventive spirit of New Zealand-based ceramicists and outward by embracing the ingenuity and distinctive aesthetics of international clay workers into the programme.
