A post shared by Morris & James Pottery (@morrisandjames)<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n

Located in the pretty town of Matakana, Morris & James Pottery is an incredible locally owned and run enterprise. Community is the core philosophy of this business and it all began in 1977, when world traveller and artist Ant Morris and his wife Sue James bought the Tongue Farm Road property. The land was filled with clay deposits, so the couple bought the property and Morris & James Pottery was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After steering the business through ups and downs, Ant offered the business for sale to Kieran Rice and his partner Deby, along with long-standing staff, Mike Rose, Ian Foote, George Steele, Trish Allen and Nick Charlton. Today Ant lives in his original home at Tongue Farm Road, but his presence continues to inspire the pottery whenever he strolls through the grounds and chats with staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, all the staff are locals and pass their skills on to their family who also work in the business. All the colourful ceramics are individually handcrafted by these skilled artisans and they use clay sourced from the banks of the Matakana River. They also ensure they care for their site, replanting their excavations with native bush that attracts a wide variety of wildlife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll take you behind the scenes at the pottery, to see how they’ve created such an iconic local brand. You might even like to purchase some of the stunning ceramic pieces and help support this special local business in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nearly a decade working in the corporate world, \u2018Southern Girl\u2019 Laura Douglas knew she wanted to come home to her beloved southern land. Switching her stilettos for gumboots, she started running the Real Country Farm, set in the deep south outside Queenstown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was born and raised on a nearby sheep farm, and spent her childhood horse riding, fishing and working on the family farm. Today she shares \u2018the Real New Zealand\u2019 with visitors at the Real Country Farm, offering experiences like sheep mustering, whip cracking and petting and feeding the farm animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
