Currently based in Ōtautahi, Sage Hill Ceramics was born from a hobby-turned-obsession and a very generous long-term lend of a pottery wheel. I first started working with clay in 2007 when I recieved a wheel throwing pottery course as a gift.

As tangata tiriti, I acknowledge the privilege I have had, previously living in the beautiful Pātaua, Tai Tokerau and the privilege I now have living in Ōtautahi, working with the whenua of Ngai (Kai) Tahu.

My ethos is to create functional ceramics that are both beautiful and tell a story, and to source materials as locally as possible. The origin of the wild clays used could be anywhere from a friends house site to a sample taken from a slip on the side of the road. Wild clays are only sampled from already disturbed sites.
