Discover the amazing world of clay art at The Suter Art Gallery’s biennale exhibition, Fire & Earth: Contemporary Ceramics from the Top of The South.

This exhibition showcases the best of local ceramic artists from Te Tau Ihu (the Top of the South Island), who use clay to create unique and diverse objects. You will see a variety of ceramics, from functional ware to artistic installations, from traditional to experimental techniques, and from natural to recycled materials. You will also learn about the elements of earth, water, and fire that are essential for making ceramics, and the challenges and opportunities that come with this ancient and earthy medium.

Whether you are a fan of pottery, a supporter of local makers, or a lover of art, you will find something to inspire and delight you at this exhibition.

The exhibition is curated by Andrea du Chatenier, a renowned ceramicist from Whanganui, who also has a piece in the exhibition. She is a former sculptor who switched to clay as her primary medium, and she uses it in surprising and delightful ways.

This exhibition is proudly supported by Jarden.
