Vonney Ball

Elegant ceramics by a leading practitioner

Ceramic artist Vonney Ball’s elegant output reflects a sound education in English ceramics design, a singularity of purpose and a drive to keep making work. Twenty years on from her arrival in New Zealand, her work connects cultural experiences from opposite ends of the earth. Vonney Ball: Ceramics surveys her work and examines her influences, from Bloomsbury to Maori art and design.

‘This book proves its worth by demonstrating how Ball’s work responds to, reflects, and contributes to our country’s visual and material language. Books like this provide a rich sense of texture, process, tangibility, and object — documenting bodies of work as taonga, to be shared, treasured, and discovered anew down generations.’ — Sam Trubridge, ArtZone
