Where you can see our paintings and pottery


We open our studio to the public on the first weekend of each month and we are also happy to see people at other times too. Just phone us to make sure we are home, send me an Email at opogallery AT gmail DOT com, or leave a message on our blog site a day or two before you would like to visit so that we can make arrangements.

Gallery on Blueskin at Waitati, 15 minutes North of Dunedin, have a good selection of Peter's Pottery on show. This gallery is well situated beside beautiful Blueskin Bay and can be part of a nice day out from Dunedin. Louise and Nicky are the delightful people that run the gallery, and you can be sure of a warm welcome there. The gallery is open every day except Monday.

Laura's paintings may be found at Moray Gallery in Princes Street, Dunedin, quite close to the Octagon.

Peter is a member of the Stuart Street Potter's Co-operative, and always has pottery on show there. The Co-operative Gallery is situated in Lower Stuart Street, Dunedin, just opposite the Law Courts. The Co-operative Gallery is open 6 days every week, Monday to Saturday. Co-op members take turns to look after the gallery, and Peter is there once a fortnight on a Tuesday; he will be there next on Tuesday 8 September.

Peter and Laura usually also have a small selection of work available at Renaissance Gallery, Dunedin, which has a lovely rural location with displays outside of sculpture, a bead shop, and a nice gallery. Check their web site for how to get there. www.renaissancegallery.co.nz

It is good to see you!

Over this winter period I would like to make some alterations to our studio to arrange better storage for work in progress, and a more enjoyable place for Laura to do her painting, this could mean that we are in chaos sometimes while the alterations are being done, but we usually have some of our paintings and pottery here for people to see.

Josephine's Tea Party at Stuart Street Potter's Co-operative



The Stuart Street Potter's Co-operative in Dunedin, of which I am a member, had an enjoyable opening of Josephine's Tea Party on Saturday. The exhibition of teapots and other tea making paraphernalia is colourful and fun. Most of the 12 member Co-op have taken part in this exhibition, and some have made teapots the like of which have not been seen before! The exhibition is well worth a visit, and with the weather forecast being somewhat grim for the next few days, why not spend time in the colourful and dry Stuart Street Potter's Co-operative gallery that can be found on Stuart Street opposite the Law Courts near the Dunedin Railway Station!
