The shape of things...

A small selection of some of my favourite ceramics from Christchurch Art Gallery’s collection. Also included are a few snaps of Japanese potter Yoshikazu Takada and his studio taken in Hokkaido, Japan in August 2004.

Here are some photos of my friends' collection of New Zealand ceramics. While each individual pot is great, it's really the clusters and groupings that I love.
