Peter Stichbury

This is not a very good photograph of Peter taken beside the Kamaka anagama in 1982.  Peter received a New Zealand Art Societies fellowship to study overseas in 1957.  He first worked at St. Ives with Bernard Leach and William Marshall and later with Michael Cardew at Abuja in Nigeria.  Peter taught at the Ardmore Teachers Training College on his return to New Zealand until he started potting full time, in partnership with his wife, Diane, in 1970.
