New Plymouth Potters 39th Annual Exhibition

New Plymouth Potters 39th Annual Exhibition was opened at The Real TArt Gallery by guest selector and exhibitor Duncan Shearer from Hamilton. 
From the work selective Duncan awarded the Supreme Award to Barbara Nicholls, a Copper Red Bowl.  The merit Award went to Louise McFetridge, "The Wizard"  and the Novice Award went to Katherine Christian, a hand built coiled pot.
Thanks must go to Anthea Stayt for getting the plinths painted in time for the exhibition.  The plinths look very smart having had 3 coats of white paint.  The exhibition is our once a year event that show cases the work of the New Plymouth Potters, it is our opportunity to lift our public profile, so presentation is everything.
 New Plymouth Potters Inc. wishes to acknowledge Creative NZ for their grant towards the exhibition and workshop.
