Peter Selwyn (1935-2019)

Te Uru is proud to present a window display of selected works by the late Peter Selwyn (Ngati Wai, Ngati Maru o Hauraki, Ngati Kahungunu), local potter who held strong creative links to Titirangi, especially through his membership with the Titirangi Potters Club. Selwyn was celebrated by many in the ceramics community for his innovative use of clay and his many large works – a small selection of these have been chosen for this special memorial display.

In 1988, Selwyn was selected to attend the International Workshop of Ceramic Art in Japan, and his work was exhibited locally in the Arataki Visitors Centre (1999) and Upstairs Gallery (2013).
