Peter Lange (New Zealand)
Peter Lange, creator of the world first brick
boat and a leading figure in the craft/object art sector, has been awarded by
Creative New Zealand Craft/Object Art Fellowship this year.
Peter Lange has worked in ceramics for more
than 30 years and has been director of Auckland Studio Potters Center since
1997. He changes his approach to
clay all the time. Thirty years
ago he started working in the “Leach” tradition throwing high-fired
domestic-ware, but has at times embraced earthenware, slip-casting,
salt-glazing, brick sculpture, and experimental kiln-firings. He enjoys illusion, irony and the
unexpected?
Peter Lange has worked, taught and exhibited
in New Zealand and throughout the world.
Highlights in recent years include being an official demonstrator at the
2002 Aomori Wood-fire Festival in Japan, and being selected to take part in a
terracotta and brick symposium in Eskisehir, Turkey in 2003. In 1997, he taught at the Dubai Art Center
in the United Arab Emirates.
Peter Lange has twice received the Merit Award
at the Fletcher Challenge Art Award in 1985 and 1986. His work features in a number of collections, including in
the Auckland Museum, Christchurch Art Gallery, the Beehive, Suzhou School of
Art and Zhengzhou Art School in China, and the Aberystwyth Arts Center in
Wales.
＊ If
you have given me the above materials before, and there have been no recent
changes, you can just inform me and I will use your former materials.

Please email me 1 or 2 digital images (more are
better) of your each horse teapot by 30 January, 2014 (2 MG JPG file at least, good
quality for publication as well).

shipping points will be provided at a later date.
