Carol Stewart

Carol moved to the Waitakere ranges from New York in 2002 and very quickly became immersed in mud! To her great delight, she also discovered a vibrant potting community in Auckland. Her approach to clay is eclectic – anything is worth trying at least once and she has found that persistence can often lead to success, which leads to overconfidence, which leads to ….. Almost all her work is thrown and based on vessel forms, functional and, she hopes, beautiful to look at and to use. She has started hand-building recently and finds herself fascinated by boxes. Boxes contain surprises – the winning lottery ticket, out of date coins, that missing button – your past, your present and your future.
