The Pottery Place NZ

Laura Buchanan aka known as Lulu works from her studio + shop on Guyton Street in Whanganui. The studio serves as her town base, as her family drives each day, from their coastal home. When Laura is not creating with clay, she can be found beach combing with her dogs, swimming out the back with her kids or working her shifts at the Fine Arts Gallery on Taupo Quay, where she also exhibits her work.

She often experiments with clay and glaze combinations, incorporating local sand into the reclaimed clay. Her sculptural work often depicts her manifesting thoughts, projected in ceramic forms.

Laura shares her space with other potters and artist, who work as a collaborative collective to man the shop while creating with clay.
