Set inside Upper Moutere Village's historic post office building on Moutere Highway, this gallery space showcases a curated selection of handcrafted ceramics from two established local makers: Katie Gold Clay Art and Owen Bartlett Pottery. Ceramic work made in this region has a long-standing reputation for drawing on local earth and distinctive glazes, and this village outpost offers an accessible way to browse their pieces without having to venture out to private studio workshops.
Visitors will find an edited collection of their pottery and clay art on display, though not every piece from their catalogue is held here. The makers accept custom orders if you cannot find a specific item you are looking for and are happy to wait while it is crafted. Recent news from the potters notes that their primary working studio and home gallery relocated to Tapu Bay in Kaiteriteri after 25 years in the area, leaving this village setting at 1381 Moutere Highway as their dedicated Upper Moutere showcase.
