"We're very pleased
with the whole event, with a lot more people through, we sold a lot more (of
the) expensive items - sculptures and large pots.
We had a lot of people from outside the district and overseas. It (the festival)
gives local artists an opportunity to promote their work. Among the potters
and sculptors were Rod Graham, Michelle Reitima, Pamela Annsouth, from Waikanae
Beach, glass worker Susie Mills also from Waikanae, glass sculptor Bruce Winter
and Carol Agate from Paraparaumu.
Adverse weather conditions
didn't hinder over 1100 people attending the Festival of Pots and Garden Art,
a nine day art extravaganza, held in the Trinity Farm rose gardens.
Otaki Pottery Club spokesman, Rod Graham, said they had 58 exhibitors, from
as far as Nelson, Hawkes Bay and Wanganui, joining with the Kapiti and Horowhenua
artists and providing the wider variety of works and 1700 pieces on display,
the most the festival has had.
