Julie Collis
Julie’s artworks have included a variety of media, particularly metal, fabric and ceramic. However a constant theme has been the fabrics and woven baskets of the Pacific region. Her work has included the application of enamels and glass pieces to the slumped, textured form. Julie is inspired by wonderful translucency of glass; the purity of the coloured surface, and the softness of the very slightly melted glass. Recent work has taken her study of textiles into the forms and decoration of bone china. Ceramics

Rebecca Heap
In the late winter of 2011 I returned home after spending five years in Sweden. Following my life long dream to blow glass I studied at Wanganui Ucol and in my final year won a glass design scholarship to the University of Kalmar in southern Sweden. I was based in the heart of the Kingdom of Crystal where they have been blowing glass since long before Captain Cook first landed in New Zealand. After the scholarship semester I apprenticed at Pukeberg Glasbruk for two years then undertook post graduate studies at the National Glass School in Orrefors where I taught part time and later took on a full time position. Over the summer holidays I had the priviledge of blowing glass in the historic Orrefors glassworks.
I create my pieces at Mahy Glass Studio in Whangarei and complete all the refining and polishing in my workshop at home in. Glass

Tony Ogle
Tony was born in 1959 and has devoted over twenty years to making prints and paintings about New Zealand. He has been inspired by locations that are off the beaten track, mostly untouched niches of the land and coastline that convey to him an unchanged timelessness. To capture that "sense of place" is what he strives for in his work.
'Screenprinting allows me to express my love of the New Zealand landscape and ocean environment with strong colours in a direct and graphic manner'. The evolution of this style has consequently made Tony Ogle a thriving artist producing bold renditions that portray the essence of New Zealand. Prints

Peter Shearer
Peter Shearer has been creating stoneware pots for over 30 years. He is strongly influenced by New Zealand's environment in his designs and use of glazes and his works create a balance between form and function. Each piece is hand-crafted on a potter's wheel and fired in a gas kiln to 1300c. One of the characteristics of Peter's workis teh contrast achieved by using glazed surfaces adjacent to textured, non-glazed surfaces. He applies crackled slips, combing and fluting to the leather hard clay and after each piece is bisque fired he rubs in iron oxide into teh surface to highlight the texture. Porcelain clay is used for the celadon pieces and all others are created from stoneware clay. Peter works in his studio with his wife, Jeanette. Ceramics
