Academy Gallery is featuring guest artists - award winning ceramicist Sue Newitt from Nelson and Watercolours by Sir
Michael Fowler.
Sue Newitt graduated from Otago Polytech in 1982 after completing a diploma in Fine Arts and a year on the full time
ceramics course.
'My work has always been based on the wheel as I enjoy the process of throwing and putting together of the pieces at
leather hard stage. Teapots, jugs and bowls are my main focus at the moment as I enjoy the challenge and the
possibilities of these forms.
I have recently returned to high fired reduction firing and porcelain with an emphasis on form over decoration, using
simple glazes and texture which show the translucency and purity of this challenging and beautiful clay.'
Sir Michael's work needs no introduction and this show will feature a series of watercolour sketches showing his delight
in and around Thorndon.
In the run up to Christmas this exhibition will be a great chance for gift opportunities.
EXHIBITION SEASON: 24th October - 15th November
Artworks from many other established and emerging New Zealand artists will also be on display.
The Academy Galleries are open from 10am until 5pm seven days of the week during all public exhibitions and entry is
free.
