Temuka pottery was very popular in the 80s, when I went overseas, my friends asked me to buy some and take the pottery to them.
From the township of Temuka, on the South Canterbury plains, since 1931,
New Zealand Insulators has proudly designed and produced Temuka Pottery.
Our brand is pure New Zealand heritage – and thousands of kiwi households use
Temuka Pottery on a daily basis. It lasts and lasts.
Many New Zealanders know Temuka Pottery as the curvy brown Riverstone series designed by the late Jack Laird of Nelson.
Launched in 1971, the beautiful Riverstone sold millions of pieces. Since then Temuka Pottery has
developed and changed – our pottery reflects modern New Zealand, with clean designs created with bright and colourful glazes.
Cure Kids
 | On Saturday the 4th of October, Cure Kids $10 Queenstown Challenge stopped briefly in Temuka. The teams were all made honorary pottery decorators for the stop over, and had to decorate plates which are to be auctioned off, with all money going to Cure Kids. See the teams at work, and their resulting decorated plates here. And check out Cure Kids website here |
Our
fab $10 Queenstown Challenge teams tried their hands at pottery
painting at Temuka Pottery en-route to Queenstown. Temuka Pottery is now
auctioning their art on Trade Me, with all proceeds donated to Cure
Kids.
Thank you to the teams and Temuka Pottery for your creativity and generosity! Check out their creations and get bidding here: http://bit.ly/10Zk5M3 #helpcurekids #TenDollarChallenge14  |
