About Slo Mo Pots: Where Clay Meets Garden
Step into Slo Mo Pots and discover a unique sanctuary right here in Palmerston North, dedicated to the mindful art of pottery. Nestled in a lush garden setting, our studio is a place where time slows down, allowing for the creation of truly unique, handcrafted ceramics.
Slo Mo Pots offers a holistic artistic experience – a fusion of craft, nature, and creativity. It is a working studio and a living gallery where the tactile beauty of clay is celebrated in every piece we make.
Meet Oliver Paskins: Master Potter
The artist behind the wheel is Oliver Paskins, a local Master Potter whose hands have shaped clay for over 35 years. Oliver’s deep-seated passion and wealth of experience are evident in every curve and glaze of his work.
Specializing in traditional techniques, Oliver transforms raw earth into functional art. Whether it’s a rugged planter for your garden or a delicate mug for your table, every item reflects decades of dedication to the craft.
The Studio & Our Wood-Fired Kiln
At the heart of Slo Mo Pots is our traditional wood-fired kiln. This firing method is a labour of love that produces results a modern electric kiln simply cannot replicate. The wood firing process creates stunning, unpredictable variations in glaze and texture, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
The Garden Oasis: A Living Gallery
Beyond the studio walls, step into Oliver’s personally designed garden – a truly unique oasis and a stunning testament to over 20 years of dedicated landscaping experience.
Wander paths through a diverse landscape, from the striking forms of cacti and succulents to the lush greenery of bamboo and vibrant floral displays. Discover tranquil water features, inviting seating areas under custom pergolas, and a charming stone archway leading to hidden corners.
Throughout this living gallery, Oliver’s handcrafted ceramic pieces are thoughtfully displayed and beautifully integrated with the natural surroundings. We invite you to wander through, enjoy the atmosphere, and browse our collection of pottery and plants available for purchase.
