Gretel Halstead

Gretel does primarily hand-built work, most often in porcelain. She gathers much of her inspiration from nature and is constantly searching out new forms, patterns and textures. Most of her work is high fired porcelain but she often uses low fired alkaline glazes, for the brightness of colour they give. She is a member of Auckland Studio Potters and is mentored by Peter Lange. Gretel has exhibited and won awards with her pots.
