Neil Feather. 2025
Established in 2019, the Artist in Residence programme at Auckland Studio Potters invites national and international ceramicists to spend up to three months in dedicated studios on the Onehunga grounds. The residency fosters experimentation and tradition alike, contributing to a global resurgence in ceramics while enriching ASP’s community through teaching, collaboration, and shared whanaungatanga.
The Artist in Residence programme was established at Auckland Studio Potters in 2019. Applications are called from national and international potters and ceramicists to spend up to three months in one of ASP’s two pod studios on the Centre’s grounds in Onehunga, Tāmaki Makaurau. The ASP committee has identified the residency programme as having the potential to stoke the local fires of a resurgence in ceramic arts worldwide and to provide a creative hub for experimental and traditional ceramics in New Zealand. Resident artists help around the centre and teach where possible and in doing so become valuable contributors to the centre’s whanaungatanga and shared sense of community.
AiR4 marks Auckland Studio Potters’ fourth Artist in Residence exhibition showcasing the work of the residents at ASP during 2025. It is a testament to our commitment to developing ASP as a creative institution, its members, and New Zealand ceramics. We do this by looking both inward at the unique inventive spirit of New Zealand-based ceramicists and outward by embracing the ingenuity and distinctive aesthetics of international clay workers into the programme.
Featuring:
Natasha Gomperts, Hannah Paradis, Margaux Bigou, Rubee Prattley-Jones, Joelle March, Neil Feather and Holly Morgan.
