Renate von Petersdorff
“Tuis” $60 each
Renate is in love with New Zealand.The organic nature of its’ shape and colours is evident in her work.
Originally from Germany, she has studied Graphic Design and trained in organic farming. Renate calls on these disciplines in the creation of her ceramic art pieces. She admits to being fascinated by the effects of working with fire and the elements of surprise that can emerge from her kiln. The pottery wheel, hand building and slab work are all used in her creations and are often enhanced by the Raku firing technique.
Since 1996 Renate has run her own gallery in the Marlborough Sounds from which she finds much of her inspiration. All her work is created - thrown, built, fired and painted on the premises.
“I love working with my hands and through pottery I can express myself as I try to capture the colours and the peace of nature around me”.
