Quality handcrafted designer ceramics from Bob Steiner

Bob Steiner interest in ceramics started when he was very young. Weekends were spent with friends exploring the characteristics of clay and experimenting with glazes using wood ash and clay materials. Bob's father bought him his first throwing wheel for his 15th birthday.

Bob studied pottery and sculpture at Elam Art School at the University of Auckland, followed by a move to the Hokianga where he made a good living making pottery, building his own house with studio on 24 acres of bush clad hills. However changes to the ceramic and pottery industry declined in the early 80's and Bob headed to Auckland.

In 1991 he opened his own studio called Steiner Studios, producing slip cast and handpainted designer-ware. His extensive range now boasts New Zealand made ceramic wall plaques with unique colored glazes. These Stylish and contemporary relief designs make for great modern home decor.
