A feast of ceramic creations will be on display in September at Tauranga's newest pottery exhibition, and potters from around the region are encouraged to participate.

Entries are now open for Cape to Cape – the inaugural ceramic exhibition hosted by Bethlehem Pottery Club, taking place at X-Space, Baycourt from September 29 - October 2.

Potters and ceramicists in the Hauraki, Thames/Coromandel, East Cape and wider Bay of Plenty districts, including Taupō, are invited to send entries in until the closing date on August 8.

Chief organiser Juliet Fitzgerald says Cape to Cape is an exciting new opportunity for the region, and she encourages the Bay's creative neighbours to join the club in celebrating this earthy craft.

'We want to highlight the many talented potters in the region as well as ignite some new energy into our local ceramic scene. Cape to Cape welcomes all potters of all levels to share their work with us.”

All entries will be viewed by one of New Zealand's renowned ceramic artists, and selected pieces will be exhibited at Tauranga's Baycourt Community & Art Centre. All pieces must be available for sale.

Awards are in four sections:

  • Supreme Award – $3000
  • Virginia Angus Emerging Artist Award – $1000
  • 2 x Merit Award – $1000 each
  • Deco Pots People's Choice Award – $500
