Renton Murray - Hillside Pottery

Renton Murray is the master of salt glazed pottery!
Here are a couple of examples of his work ....



this mug has his R mark on it




The goblet has the Hillside mark on it

A lovely little Hillside dish

Nicole said go and buy yourself a Fathers Day present.

I bought two but I wont be seeing them until next month because they remain in the exhibition.

I met Renton at "The Front Room" this morning and we talked about mugs and salt glaze. I'm slowly learning.

Most his mugs had already sold. I bought this one.


I chose not to get a blue one because I thought it might clash with the Peter Lange I was getting from Marcus. Silly me, that one is green. Now I'm having second thoughts.

The rest of the exhibition:

Lots of swaps and giveaways at yesterday's Whangarei group meeting.
Miriam, Brooke, Jim, Kat, Val and I all parted ways with something new.

I finally got one of gloworm's Ambrico duos in exchange for an Ambrico big cup.
Kat got an Yvonne Rust goblet and I got the Smisek hops mug (and Bunnies).
Pottery was flying in all directions.

Val produced these lovely Hillside duos. She had five to star with.

Great pottery there indeed !!
I'm going to the Portage Museum on Monday ..... anyone want to join me
I'm so jealous of you pottery nuts .....
