Artist Name: Peter Shearer
Peter Shearer began potting in Kerikeri in the 1970's making a living from functional domestic ware. In the 1980's Peter set up Shearer Pottery on the North Shore of Auckland where he works with his wife Jeanette. Peter's work is all hand thrown, white stoneware clay which is fired in a gas kiln to 1300c. The design content of his work is strongly influenced by New Zealand's unique natural environment and his finished pieces sit well in today's contempoary interiors.
