Ams 341/3/1: Large coloured clay vase

Ams 341/3/2: Tall narrow vase

Graeme Storm's work is typically vividly coloured, as shown in this vase. Storm trained as a secondary school teacher, and learned to pot at teachers' training college in 1955. He was also influenced by his Finnish father and he had begun making pottery and building kilns at his family home in 1956. It became evident from his colour preferences that he was more interested in the peacock blues and other brillant colours being produced in the Arabia factory in Helsinki than he was in the Anglo-Japanese brown, which characterised New Zealand pottery at that time.

Graeme Storm studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in England and returned to New Zealand and became a professional potter in 1964. He had local and international success, with works selected for a survey exhibition of Ceramic Arts at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 1972 and a solo exhibition at the Dowse Art Museum in 1974.CreatorStorm, Graeme, 1936-LevelSeriesExtent1 vessel, 1 vaseSourcesBlumhardt, D., & Brake, B.
