Welcome to the Royce McGlashen Gallery

Royce is well known as one of New Zealand’s leading potters. He qualified as a Master Potter in 1971. He is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics (Geneva) and in 1989 received an M.B.E. for his services to pottery in New Zealand.

At his studio in Brightwater near Nelson he produces a wide range of tableware, ceramic art pieces and paintings. Hand decoration and interesting surface treatments have always been a feature of Royce’s work. He has won many awards and his work is held in numerous public and private collections.

Royce is now teaching Coral and Josh, the new owners of McGlashen Pottery, all they need to know to continue the McGlashen Pottery range. Royce is still able to make his own pots and these will be available in the gallery and on the McGlashen Pottery web page. The new website for viewing and purchasing McGlashen Pottery production pottery is mcglashenpottery.co.nz.
