The Pot House

The Incubator

THE POT HOUSE

The Incubator Creative Hub is looking for great potters to show in their new Pot House Gallery.

The vision for The Pot House is to be a space in Tauranga that elevates Pottery and Ceramics as a serious contemporary, and of course traditional, artform.

The Pothouse Ceramic Gallery and Studios features:

  • A retail (cash and carry) ceramics gallery

  • The first Tauranga solo ceramic artist exhibition gallery

  • Ceramic Artist/ Potter working studios

  • A hot wheel for rentable by the hour use.

  • A purpose-built working workshop with high volume tabletop kiln is on its way. 

BPC members may be interested in a group show which could be themed such as an all mug show. 

There is a fee of $300 to exhibit in the space for a period of 3 weeks. This is to cover the rent and any exhibition installation costs. The Incubator takes a 15% commission on any sales for the duration of the exhibition.

If anyone is interested in a show in the Pothouse, complete the exhibition form: Exhibition Nitty Gritty | the-incubator (theincubator.co.nz)
