Peter Johnson
Born and raised in Invercargill, New Zealand, Peter Johnson is a ceramic artist with a deep connection to the land and sea. Introduced to clay in high school, he has since built kilns, taught workshops, and created work across New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Sweden.

Peter uses locally sourced clays and specializes in raku-style firing, creating expressive seals and sea lions inspired by his lifelong love of surfing and the marine life near his home in Karitane, north of Dunedin.
