A LITTLE ABOUT ME....
I’m Rebecca, also known as Bee. I have a small studio in my garage in Nelson, Aotearoa New Zealand. I design and make every piece carefully and slowly using a pottery wheel and hand building techniques. I love making functional ceramics with whimsical additions and decorations.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN....
-
My first experience on the potters wheel in India, with a LOT of help!
-
Who doesn't love sculpting with snow?! This is in 2011 when we were living in Christchurch.
When I moved to Nelson in 2012 I was teaching full time, and then my partner and I had two daughters, so it took me a while to try making pottery again. I joined the local pottery club in 2018, once my youngest child was at a stage where I could leave her for a few hours in the evening. I quickly got very immersed in making pots and spent many evenings practising. I am now very lucky to have a small studio in the garage where I make pots during school hours.
Thank you for showing an interest in my work,
Arohanui,
Bee
