A mythical Greek monster has joined the sculptural line-up in Whangarei.
The Northland National Potters Week Exhibition has been running at the Native Bush Court inside Forum North for 14 years.
Kristin Kay won for the second year in a row with Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull symbolising strength, brutality, protection
and guardianship.
"I wanted to portray the feeling in this piece of movement, anger and readiness," Kay said.
The exhibition celebrates pottery crafted in the Northland region, in response to the amount of imported pottery flooding the New Zealand market.
