AUCKLAND Tāmaki Makaurau update – January / February 2026 Ceramic Events
The 61st Ceramics NZ National Exhibition 2025
The 61st judges, Moyra Elliott, Grace Lai and Peata Larkin, faced the demanding task of narrowing down 279 entries to a selection of 61 works. The quality of submissions was exemplary, making the blind judging selection process by consensus even more difficult. Congratulations to those that have been selected and to the prize winners! Don’t forget to swing by and vote for the People’s Choice Award at Pah Homestead until 18 January 2026.
