A yellow stack of tubes has won a top award for a Whanganui artist.
At last nights Portage Awards in Auckland - New Zealands premier awards for the ceramic arts - Andrea du Chatenier was honoured for her work Yellow Stack.
And that means du Chatenier will be swapping Whanganui for Denmark as the piece earned her an international residency to study at the prestigious International Ceramic Centre in Guldagergaard.
A teacher at Ucols school of fine arts, du Chatenier is a former Sarjeant Gallery artist-in-residence at Tylee Cottage.
She described her winning piece: The basic necessities for a pot are good joins and sympathetic decoration. There are no joins in this pot; it is a stack of elements held together by its glaze.
