Peter Alger (New Zealand) ceramics

Peter Alger is a New Zealand potter who was born in New Brunswick, Canada, in 1952 and emigrated to New Zealand with his family in 1959. He began his pottery studies in 1968, when he became apprenticed to potter Warren Tippet in the Coromandel. He established his own pottery studio in Northland in 1970.

Alger's work is characterized by its simple, functional forms and its use of natural materials and glazes. He often uses stoneware clay, which he fires to high temperatures. His glazes are often inspired by the natural world, and they can be earthy, muted, or vibrant.

Alger has won numerous awards for his work, including the Norsewear Art Award in 1992, the Glenfalloch Award at the Cleveland Ceramics Awards in 1994, and the New Zealand Society of Potters Award in 1996. His work is included in the collections of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the Suter more... Gallery in Nelson, and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Alger continues to work and exhibit his pottery in New Zealand and internationally. He is a member of the New Zealand Society of Potters and the Northland Potters Collective.

Alger's work is influenced by his love of nature and his appreciation of the simple beauty of everyday objects. less...
