In each workshop Jane will demonstrate how to imprint botanical textures onto clay, hand-building techniques (vase, mug and container) and how to make a botanically-inspired Green Man tile. Jane will take care of the glazing and firing and two weeks later you’ll collect a glazed vase/plate or tile imprinted with botanical patterns and suitable for everyday use.
Tutor Jane McCulla
Jane McCulla graduated as a mature student with a 1st Class BA Hons in Fine & Applied Art at the University of Ulster, Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2006. Immigrating to NZ with her family in 2009, she established a homebased studio in Riverton, Southland, supplying galleries with her ceramic pieces. A year later, she moved north to Christchurch.
Jane creates textured, stretched, stoneware clay vessels and forms at her home-based studio in Diamond Harbour, Canterbury. She imbues fluid textures on her stoneware pieces, suggesting geology, archaeology, and mankind’s marks on the landscape, fluxed over time.
Teaching classes and workshops throughout NZ, she also undertakes both private and public commissions, including the Lyttel People Land Art Mandala in Albion Square, Lyttelton. For over 7 years, she was involved as a Regional Council Member and Vice President of Ceramics Association of NZ.
In 2017, Jane completed a seven-week residency at The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of the world in China.
Her ceramics have been featured in various publications and exhibited in both solo and national shows in London, UK, Ireland, and NZ. Her pieces are held in both private and public collections worldwide, and she has received several awards, including a Portage Merit Award in 2013.
