Romina is the founder and artist behind pottery for the poles. A Glenorchy based potter and advocate for environmental protection, in particular for the polar regions. Her work combines art and exploration in the hope to promote a sense of responsibility to those who travel and an educational platform to those who don’t.
Each set or piece of ceramic ware has a story to tell, from polar exploration to the deep fiords and forests embedded within the South Island of New Zealand. Romina sets out to bridge the gap in knowledge of the least understood places through art and storytelling.
about the artist
Dedicated to make more sustainable choices, each ceramic piece is carefully hand thrown on a 1930’s foot wheel.
Pottery for the poles only uses carbon neutral delivery schemes and promotes pick-ups.
In the studio, waste is consciously minimised through repurposing clay methods.
All materials are sourced locally with compostable and recyclable shipping materials.
