This will be the first curated exhibition in New Zealand that focuses on the process and work from potters who use wood kilns as both the means of expression and a functional tool to fire their work.

The exhibition will show the diversity of work produced and also the variety of designs of wood fired kilns that potters throughout New Zealand have created.

This resourcefulness of potters has forged a distinct culture in the ceramic community that relishes the dance with fire and the unpredictable nature of this elemental practice.
