Working with fire has always been my passion ✨️ .. in clay, in life, in the energy I put into creating.

To honour the courage and dedication of Auckland’s Firefighters, I dedicated time and care to bring these handmade tumblers to life.

Each vessel carries community-donated clay, my own labour, and quiet intention.
It’s a reminder that fire can create, transform, and hold meaning, and that the simplest acts can become a gesture of care and respect

I’ve been quietly working on something close to my heart ✨️

I’ve made 100+ handmade tumblers to raise funds for the Auckland Firefighters ❤️‍🔥

The clay was donated by people from classes, and I donated my time, labour and energy to bring this project into form.
This has truly been a community-made effort.

The vessels are now finished, and the next step I’m sitting with is a local café collaboration, where coffee or any other brews, could be served in these tumblers and proceeds directed to support our firefighters.

I’m sharing this openly and allowing the right connection to come forward, if and when it’s meant to

Thank you 🌈

Watching these tumblers come to life ✨

It has been a process of patience, fire, and quiet attention

Every piece carries traces of the hands that contributed clay, the care of the making, and the energy I brought to the studio each day.

It’s a reminder that transformation is slow, steady, and collaborative... and that intention matters as much as action.

I’m grateful for the space to create, and for the unseen ways our work touches the community.

Restoration complete ✨

With help from my amazing partner and my dad, the leach wheels have been lovingly brought back to life. The wood was dry, some parts needed sealing, and rust had crept in, but now they’re not only looking beautiful, they’re fully functional and ready for action.

Feeling grateful for teamwork, care, and the satisfaction of seeing these pieces shine again.

Thank you for all the support.
Thanks to all of you, .pottery is growing slowly but surely.

I still remember it all started with a long table and a big heart...

Ayni is an artist-led studio ✨
Alongside teaching and community offerings, this space is first and foremost where I develop my own ceramic practice.

Dedicated solo time in the studio is essential to this work, and it’s what allows me to show up fully when we gather 🤍

The studio is open to the public for browsing, connecting, and collecting finished pieces during:
• Wednesday – Thursday: 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
• First Sunday of the month: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
• And by appointment

Outside of these hours, the studio may be in use for classes or closed to support focused making.
Thank you for respecting the space when it is not open to visitors.

Opening hours are kept up to date on Google Maps and social media.

See you soon !

Making✨

Hands, clay, presence.

A vessel takes shape
meant to hold,
meant to serve.

The marks stay.
The differences matter.
What may look uneven to some
feels honest to me.

Beauty lives in the way each one is its own.
