NZ Potters National ‘Imery’s Tableware Exhibition’
I have 3 Naked Raku jars and 1 chicken brick (featuring a fat and healthy free range chook) accepted in the NZ Potters, Imery’s Tableware Exhibition, held at Canterbury Museum.

Decorated’Pizza stones’ and Flan dishes.
These are great for cooking pizza and flans. cooling food doesn’t ‘sweat’ and go soggy or cause rust on the surface as with a metal tray . The crust separates easily from the porous surface and the terracotta holds the heat much longer than a metal baking tray. My design has sides of various depths, a decorated rim for easy handling and attractive serving , and a turned base with 3 ‘feet’ to make them lighter and avoid thermal shock. I have a range of sizes from dinner plate size up to 38 cm.
