BRUCE PRYOR POTTERY
New Zealand-born Bruce Pryor set up his first studio, the Martinsville Pottery, near Lake Macquarie, NSW, in 1972. Here he taught himself to pot using Bernard Leach’s ‘A Potter’s Book’ as a guide and falling in love with the work of Hamada Shoji and Shimaoka Tatsuzo, whom he finally met on a visit to Japan in 2006.
In 1988, he moved to Bundanoon, NSW, and set up the Bundanoon Pottery and Gallery, where he still lives and works. Early works are marked with separate B, P and Japanese ‘torii’ or gateway seals. From around 1977, he started using an impressed ‘BP’ underneath the torii, with two impressed shells. (He stopped using the shells after the move to Bundanoon.)
