Janet Hyde

 

After completing a four year Applied Arts Diploma - majoring in pottery - at Northland Polytechnic, as an adult student in the early 1990,s, Janet Hyde designed and built her own studio, EarthBound Potteries. The EarthBound building was especially designed to be an educational facility as well as a private studio and has on-site accommodation available to students or travellers when needed.

 

Janet established herself as a New Zealand potter and has tutored local people and many travellers from around the world in pottery for many years. Over the last four years Janet’s pottery work life has been interspersed with long sailing voyages. On the way from Florida to Fiji she has been fortunate enough to meet other potters and artists and at times “play” in their studios!
