Helen Mason (New Zealand) ceramics

Helen Wilmot Mason MNZM (née Valentine; 1915 - 2014) was a New Zealand potter as well as the co-founder and editor of the New Zealand Potter magazine for which she also wrote. She was appointed to the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to pottery, in 2005.

She was born in Darfield in 1915, and grew up in Wellington. She became engaged to Malcolm Mason in 1938, and the couple married the following year. Helen Mason took up pottery in 1953, attending classes and purchasing a kiln. Over the next few years she met and worked with other New Zealand artists including potters Olive Jones, Barry Brickell, Len Castle and Doreen Blumhardt, and painter Colin McCahon, and by 1957 had exhibited and sold her first pot. In 1958, she and Blumhardt co-founded New Zealand Potter magazine, which Mason edited for nine years.

In the early 1960s Mason separated more... from her husband and became a full-time potter, moving to the Wait?kere Ranges, then ?t?ne in Hawke's Bay and, in 1974, Tokomaru Bay. I

She was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Creative New Zealand Craftsmanship Award in 1977 and in the 2005 New Year Honours she was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to pottery. Works by Mason are held in the permanent collection of the Dowse Art Museum.[6]

Mason died in 2014, aged 99. less...
