Liz Downey - Weka Pottery

Marlborough

Liz Downey's pottery, since being a novice back in the mid 90’s, has never been static. Instead it has been an ongoing ‘dipping of toes’ into the many and varied techniques and materials the ceramic industry has to offer. From using hand-dug clay to using multiple firings using precious metals, the learning process is never ending.

Of particular interest is the combination of the handmade - throwing, altering and decorating, all of which combine to create a unique piece every time. This expression is then ‘frozen’ in time when a piece is fired (up to 4 times) in the kiln. Every firing transforms the piece a little more and the resultant pieces tell that other story as well.
