About guest ceramicist - Sarah Bromley
Sarah Bromley is a member of the Ōtaki Pottery Club and a wheel tutor who has been potting for only four and a half years. She recently completed her Diploma in Arts and Design with Otago Polytechnic, studying under respected ceramic artist Jenny Turnbull. Her exhibition, Chaos, reflects a year of significant personal change. Sarah draws inspiration from the natural cycles she sees in the world around her, creating work that mirrors the ebb and flow of her own experiences. Many pieces incorporate shells and glass found on the beach, materials shaped and softened by time, echoing the ways life transforms us. |
About guest artist - Pamella Annsouth
Pamella Annsouth is a New Zealand ceramicist and artist whose practice spans more than five decades. She worked alongside the late master potter Mirek Smíšek at their Te Horo pottery property, developing a distinctive approach that moves between finely made domestic ware and expressive sculptural forms. After two decades at Waikanae Beach, she relocated to Manakau, north of Ōtaki, in 2017, and continues to create and exhibit in the region. Recent exhibitions include The 70s Dames at Pātaka Museum, where her work appeared alongside Anneke Borren and Jenny Shearer. Annsouth’s oeuvre features impressed marks, textured surfaces and occasional figurative motifs, seen across vases, wall plaques, platters and sculptural pieces. At Tote Modern Gallery this month, she presents ceramic sculptural work alongside paintings, offering an intimate glimpse into her enduring exploration of form and surface. |
