Danny Moorwood Potter

• I began making pots in the early 70' after returning to Auckland from London via Sydney.
  The interest in " Handmade " was in full swing in Australia, and New Zealand was following a similar trend. 
•  Principal Auckland outlets in those days were New Vision Gallery run by Tina Hos and Peter Sinclair's Ali Cat.
   

• I moved to rural Otago  in 1978 where I worked until 1988 when I shifted the studio to Dunedin, with a year at The Meat Market Arts Centre in Melbourne in between. The Meat Market was an outstanding asset to the Melbourne craft scene.Studio spaces for glass blowers, potters, metal smiths, textile artists and included an exhibition gallery, a retail outlet and a cafe /bar.  Sadly now gone..
   
• After 10 years of running a Studio / Gallery in Stuart St.and then around the corner in Castle St. opposite the Railway Station, I have moved my studio to my home in Opoho, a suburb of Dunedin.  Visitors are welcome, but some prior notice would be appreciated
   
• Lustre glazes are my current interest and I have been working on these for a number of years. The possibilities for surface texture and colour through the process of multi firing is vast. However,other styles of work also occupy my time.  Priority being good form with simple but effective decoration.  The recent black and white vessels are an example of this.
