It's 4pm and that is a wrap on the Festival of Pots and Garden Art 2026!
We have had the most varied weather we have ever experienced in 17 years, and you still came :) Thank you.
Thank you to our wonderful artists that created such amazing works for us to exhibit, and for you to love.
Thank you to everyone that bought a piece from our amazing artists. You made them all smile because someone loved their work šŸ™‚
Thank you to our wonderful Guest Artists, Fiona Tunnicliffe, potter, Shona Mackenzie, Artist and Win Oliver, Sculpture. Your work was outstanding!
Thank you to Anam Cara Gardens for your incredibly beautiful venue.
Thank you to everyone that liked and shared our posts to help spread the word.
Thank you to Kelly & Co for funding the 'Have a Go', artist talks and demonstrations that were so popular for all ages.
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers we had working to make the Festival happen. There's a lot happening behind the scenes you never see. Every single person working at the event is a volunteer, kindly giving their time. There really are too many helpers to mention.
Thank you to the organising committee from the Otaki Pottery Club for all your hard work, all year long.
We will be back again at Wellington Anniversary weekend, January 2027, so pop it in you diary now. Maybe even plan your summer holiday around it! Now, that's a great idea!
Thank you everyone!

Today is our last day of the Festival! And it has been amazing!
This post is dedicated to our convenors and team leads, the people that make things happen and allow the Festival to go ahead. Without the months of planning and many, many hours of work and dedication put in by this small team the Festival could not happen.
The Festival is entirely run by volunteers, and the Otaki Pottery Club is so grateful to each and everyone of you.
Enjoy our last day, it will be a year until we open again.
These are fresh phots taken on Sunday.

Open today until 4pm.
$5 entry, under 16 free. Door sales only.
Service dogs are welcome, no pets allowed.
