ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kevin began making pottery in 1988. His handbuilt work and sculptural pieces were exhibited in numerous local and national exhibitions. His early work is represented in public and private collections.
Pottery became Kevin's full time occupation. Kevin and his talented team now produce a range of slipcast ware which is sold all around New Zealand.

ABOUT THE ART

Created from Kevin's original designs, made from very strong white clay, which is slipcast and highly fired, will last a lifetime indoors and outdoors and will not craze or stain. The raw clay is hand painted with underglaze stains, bisque fired, clear glazed and given a final firing to achieve the high gloss.

The straight tubular legs on the birds and animals are easily removable and are made from powdercoated aluminium so they will never rust or fade.

ABOUT THE BIRD

The pukeko (Porphyrio melanotus / swamp hen) is a New Zealand native bird and can be found in swampy areas and farmland throughout New Zealand.
