CREATE A GORGEOUS CERAMIC PLATTER INSPIRED BY BOTANICALS

Spend a creative afternoon with ceramicist Jane McCulla at The Kiosk in the Botanic Gardens. This practical workshop explores hand-built ceramics and the art of pressing botanical textures into clay to create unique, nature-inspired pieces.
Your work will be glazed and fired by Jane, ready for collection two weeks later — a finished, functional ceramic piece infused with botanical detail.

TUTOR JANE MCCULLA

A ceramic artist, Jane McCulla graduated as a mature student with a 1st Class BA Hons in Fine &amp; Applied Art at the University of Ulster, Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2006. Immigrating to NZ with her family in 2009, she established a home based studio in Riverton, Southland, supplying galleries with her ceramic pieces. A year later, she moved north to Christchurch.

Jane creates textured, stretched, stoneware clay vessels and forms at her home-based studio in Diamond Harbour, Canterbury. She imbues fluid textures on her stoneware pieces, suggesting geology, archaeology, and mankind’s marks on the landscape, fluxed over time.
Teaching classes and workshops throughout NZ, she also undertakes both private and public commissions, including the Lyttel People Land Art Mandala in Albion Square, Lyttelton. For over 7 years, she was involved as a Regional Council Member and Vice President of Ceramics Association of NZ.
In 2017, Jane completed a seven-week residency at The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of the world in China.
Her ceramics have been featured in various publications and exhibited in both solo and national shows in London, UK, Ireland, and NZ. Her pieces are held in both private and public collections worldwide, and she has received several awards, including a Portage Merit Award in 2013.
