Louis Kittleson
‘El Presidente’ of Ceramics New Zealand and based in Napier, Louis continues his practice as established at Driving Creek in the nineties. He holds a place in the spectrum of New Zealand craft. Many of the pieces were made for the occasion of this show and some had been saved for a special occasion... All woodfired, mainly natural glazes- ‘Crap from the garden’. Fired for in between 48-96 hours. With temperatures as high as 1300, the clay vitrifies/turns glass-like leaving them watertight and thus functional.
