Join the Whanganui Potters Studio and invited exhibitors for our annual celebration of ceramics and outdoor art.
WPS members and invited exhibitors set up stalls scattered around a beautiful garden setting. The general public visit to admire and purchase the diverse art on display. You'll even find a little bit of non-outdoor art.
Art in the Garden is our club's main fundraiser for the year. Whanganui Potters Studio members volunteer their time to run the entire weekend. We take a small commission on sales which keeps our club costs low, and helps us provide activities and events to local communities and schools. Whanganui Potters Studio is a registered charity & non-profit community club.
We'll have lots of clay based activities on offer. If you've ever wanted to try throwing on a pottery wheel, or hand building something from clay, you can. Kids are very welcome to take part, and we've noticed they love it.
If you or they make something you really love, we can fire it for you. If you're not in a making mood, just watch one of our members putting on a creative demonstration.
Try out raku, the fiery and volatile Japanese ceramic tradition. If smoke and flames are not your speed, we'll have a variety of garden plants and flowers available to buy.
Lovely Cuppa is a strictly limited collection of handmade cups and mugs made by WPS members. They are sold at extremely reasonable prices, and 100% of profits go towards the club.
Live music, face painting, sizzling snags, cakes made by professional grandmas, a club raffle with amazing prizes and more. Pop Art in the Garden in your calendar. The last weekend of November.
See you there, but remember, please leave your pets at home.
