Pots of Ponsonby Co-operative is the name of a group of 13 Auckland potters and jewellers who grouped together to sell their work from a retail gallery on Ponsonby Road, Auckland, until March 2008 when spiraling costs forced it to close after operating for nearly 27 years.

 It was an ideal outlet for quality handmade New Zealand pottery, jewellery and giftware, and many customers enjoyed choosing a wedding or special occasion gift, or a souvenir of New Zealand to take home or send overseas. Individual pieces have also been given as corporate gifts.
 
The Gallery gave the artists contact with the public;  and they had the freedom to show new and experimental work in a sympathetic environment. This philosophy still exists within the group today.

Each artist’s work is their own individual design, is hand-made and produced in their own studios throughout the Auckland area.    As the pieces are mostly unique, some decorative effects and sizes may vary slightly from those represented in the photos. 

Several of our artists are Pottery Tutors, and may be contacted with regard to individual tuition, weekend schools or other events such as demonstration days.

The artists involved in the co-operative may be contacted directly by telephone and/or email, and visits to their studios are welcome, but please telephone first. Their contact information is on their individual pages along with other links to their work.
