Quirky Favourites Return to Tree

Ever so popular is Tree Gallery artist Steve Fullmer; when his work arrives, it flies out the door!  Here is a little bit more of a background about Steve and his quirky, illustrated ceramics.

He first arrived in New Zealand in 1973, and began production-throwing work in Auckland.  Two years later, he travelled around Australia and for a while, worked as a production-thrower for Courtland Pottery in Perth.  Now settled near Nelson New Zealand, he has established a studio and gallery where he fires his work in large wood-fired kilns. 

Out of the kiln comes those classic Fullmer mugs, bowls and plates with weird and whimsical illustrations of creatures, ghostly faces, and hints of outer space.  He also makes beautiful sculptural pieces such as whales, dog trophy heads and eels that will delight.

It's no surprise that Steve Fullmer works are in high demand with many of our visitors, with his insightful way to connect people with functional pieces of art and heart-warming sculptures.

We are always looking forward to more of his work arriving at Tree Gallery; where we hope you find your favourite Fullmer piece to add to your pottery collection.
