Want to go check out the beehive kilns at Te Horo?

Join WPA President Martin Henty at 10:30 AM on Sunday 19 April at the beehive kilns at Te Horo for an informal tour and discussion of their history and use. The group will then travel to the nearby Lavender Farm to see the Hautere kiln in action, with member and Hautere Kiln Master Julie Harrington firing that day. Depending on your carpool group, there may also be an optional side trip to Ōtaki for lunch and to visit Shige Ohashi’s exhibition.

Although this is a free event, please sign up so we can confirm numbers and help organise carpooling. The drive to the kilns takes approximately one hour, so participants who are carpooling should meet at the studio by 9:15 AM for a 9:30 AM departure. Petrol reimbursement can be arranged within each carpool group.
