Wellington Potters Guild
Wellington, New Zealand
2006
|
Jenny
Shearer, who is a well known New Zealand potter working in porcelain, (at Robert's right) kindly hosted Robert & Christine.
The guild planned their first anagama firing for the weekend of Robert's
workshop, giving their Vermont guests a chance to experience the firing
after the workshop each day. |

| |
Robert gave a two day workshop on
Altering Thrown Forms. |
 |
 |
| Robert's own work has evolved to
incorporate a variety of subtle alterations to energize forms. This
developed as a result of his interest in atmospheric firing, and a desire to
create strong forms that do not require decoration. |

Arts and Crafts in New Zealand is strongly supported by the national
government. A system of grants to local arts organizations has resulted in
an amazing amount of knowledge in the general population about objects that
are made by hand. |
