Study ceramics with New Zealand's only specialised tertiary programme in Ceramic Arts. Taradale Pottery Club is proud to offer this course in Hawkes Bay.

The Ceramics Studio at Otago Polytechnic is the largest in the country and the department has strong partnerships. The programme is delivered on site in Dunedin and also by distance in; Auckland, Waiheke, Hamilton, Otaki, Hawkes Bay and Christchurch where distance students can undertake practical classes.

Delivered at our club rooms at Waiohiki Arts Village, our Diploma study programme incorporates the practical and theory of ceramics.

This programme has an emphasis on exploration and experimentation. You will develop individual projects which study ceramics as a medium with its own formal language, skills and history, within a broader context of fine arts and crafts.

Many graduates from this highly regarded course of study go on to be ceramic artists.
