This year’s combined exhibition of the Gisborne Artists, Potters and Photographers includes a tribute in honour of ceramic artist, Peggy Ericson. ‘Shining Light Tribute’ is a display of lamps inspired by Peggy’s work – ‘earth and fire’ and ‘the natural world elements’ which was reflected throughout her pieces. Peggy referred to herself as a “dysfunctional potter” whose non-symmetrical, hand-built pieces had her finger marks all over them. No two pieces are the same.
A resurgence in ceramic art interest has revived Gisborne Pottery Group’s membership significantly, with new members joining this exhibition. Being a recipient of the Gisborne District Creative Communities NZ Funding Scheme, has enabled us to provide a wide range of ceramic workshops throughout this year bringing national tutors to our region.
The exhibition will showcase a diverse range of artworks, ceramics and photography. We invite you to join us celebrate the skill and talent of our artistic community.
Lysnar House Studios is the hub for artists and affiliated groups. Find us on facebook: Gisborne Artists Society, Gisborne Pottery Group., Gisborne Camera Club.
