Sue Dasler Pottery is the studio of Sue Dasler, a New Zealand potter who has worked at the wheel since she was 20. Her work is thrown on the wheel and decorated with bright, careful glazes, and the aim is pieces for everyday use, where form and function matter as much as colour.
The range is handcrafted ceramic tableware and domestic ware. Pieces are shaped in simple forms, and the patterns draw on the landscape, the coastal edges and the culture around them. Her work is shown in galleries throughout New Zealand, and the studio sells online through its website.
The studio has recently moved from Lyall Bay in Wellington to the Courthouse Café in Collingwood, at Elizabeth Street. Visitors to Collingwood can see the work at the café, which is a different setting from the Wellington studio.
Our pick in Collingwood for a set of everyday dishes with real colour and a handmade feel.
