Brian Halstead
Brian Halstead began potting, as a hobby, around 1975 and was taught by Patricia Perrin. He has returned to pottery after a break of some thirty years, as he pursued his career in architecture and landscape architecture. He now pots full time and specialises in domestic stoneware, concentrating on oriental glazes with some work salt glazed. He is a member of Auckland Studio Potters, where he is mentored by Peter Stichbury and Peter Lange. He is particularly interested in the firing process and fires with oil, gas and wood, sometimes in combination as he seeks the glaze results he desires. He has exhibited locally and won awards for his pottery
