Star Glaze Mid Winter Ceramics Festival
Star Glaze is an 'up market' all-weather winter festival with attractions both indoors and outdoors.
The festival aims to create a sustainable mid-winter celebration of art and culture again this year with additional exciting offerings.
Star Glaze, launched by Ōtaki Pottery Club and coinciding with Ōtaki-Māori Racing Club race day on Matariki Day, received a positive response from the community during the Matariki weekend in 2022 creating a unique festival feel where art and sport merged. The event provided a platform for emerging ceramists to showcase their work. Based on its success, the club aims to deepen the exploration of Matariki's significance through the festival.
