Renate Von Petersdorff : Potter New zealand art show

In the beautiful environment of the Marlborough Sounds where I have my studio and gallery, I am creatively inspired by nature and the peacefulness of what is around me. I was introduced to pottery in 1992 as I came first to New Zealand and I fell in love with it. It is a very tactile form of art and I love working with my hands. Back in Germany I attended a graphic design school for two years from 1980 to 1982 and then trained in organic farming. 20 years ago I moved to New Zealand. I opened my own gallery in 1988. I work mainly on the wheel but also enjoy doing some slab work and hand building. At present I am very fascinated with raku firing, the element of surprise, the variety of colours and working with fire. My work includes functional tableware, candle holders, wind chimes and much more. The work in my gallery is all original and made on the premises. In the beautiful environment of the Marlborough Sounds where I have my studio and gallery, I am creatively inspired by nature and the peacefulness of what is around me. I was introduced to pottery in 1992 and I enjoyed it so much that whenever I found the time around looking after 3 children, a house and garden, I would have my hands on some clay. Back in Germany I attended a graphic design school for two years from 1980 to 1982 and then trained in organic farming. In 1987 when I was travelling in NZ I met my husband. We settled in Blenheim, Marlborough and later moved to the Sounds where we built a home. Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.[1][2] In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art. The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts, which include creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, or advertising, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science". Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation. Now that the children are at school I have more time. I work mainly on the wheel but also enjoy doing some slab and hand building. I do slip decorating and I mix my own glazes. My work includes functional tableware, candle holders, wind chimes and much more. All work is original and made on the premises. How to get there.
