John Hunter, was crowned the winner of the Premier Award in the 2019 Bank Windhoek Potters Association of Namibia (PAN) National Ceramics Biennale after winning the same award in 2017.
He retained the title at the awards ceremony hosted at the National Art Gallery of Namibia (NAGN), last week in Windhoek.
Hunter also won two other prizes: first prize in the Handwork and second prize in the Wheelwork Category.
Working with clay is a way of life for Hunter who has been practicing the art since the age of 18. He has been potting for the past 50 years and has resided in Windhoek for the past 22 years, where he heads Community Hope School in Katutura. “Pottery is a source of income for the Community Hope School,” said Hunter after he received his award. .Hunter’s pottery is defined by its functionality and simplicity, but also by its beauty. He uses clean, Sumi-e-Japanese style brushwork for his square vases, plates and teapots. The glazes are gorgeous deep cobalt blues, pinks and earthy browns and are given fabulous texture and variety by his use, primarily of a wood fired kiln, rather than the more uniform effect created by an electric kiln. less
