Exhibiting 6 September – 20 October 2024
Sir Miles Warren Gallery, 65 Cambridge Terrace, Ōtautahi Christchurch

Chris Weaver has plied his trade for the past 30 years from the modest studio he built in 1980 at Kaniere on the outskirts of the remote coastal town of Hokitika. Weaver transcends what it means to be a potter: he has successfully prosecuted a union between the practical and the poetic to become Aotearoa’s foremost designer of luxurious handmade tableware.

In assembling examples of his work from three decades, this exhibition contemplates Weaver’s distinctive and unconventional oeuvre.

Join us on opening night to hear from contributors and enjoy famous Objectspace hospitality courtesy of Black EstateByterlaterLiberty BrewingAlmighty and Goodsh*t Soda.

Return on Saturday 7 September for a Coffee & Croissants conversation with Chris Weaver and exhibition curator Richard Fahey, who are both travelling to Ōtautahi to help us welcome this new exhibition to Sir Miles Warren Gallery.

We’d love to have you with us.

Teapot Meditations is presented by Resene.
