AUCKLAND Tāmaki Makaurau update – September / October 2025 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. The emails have been sent and Congratulations to those that have been selected!
