AWARDS
The 61st Sponsors
We would like to acknowledge the following sponsors for their generous support in helping to make The 61st come to fruition. If not for their dedicated investment in supporting clay artists, potters, and ceramists in New Zealand and CNZ members abroad, this event could not happen. Thank you.

Judges Talk
Join us for an afternoon at The Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead as we meet the three selectors of The 61st. A wonderful opportunity to meet our judges; Moyra Elliott, Grace Lai and Peata Larkin. Hear their thoughts about the selected works and ask those curious questions you’ve been eager to ask.
When: 1 November, 3:30pm-5:00pm
