About Chris Weaver
New Zealand potter Chris Weaver was born in Te Awamutu, New Zealand in 1956. In 1975, he graduated from Otago Polytechnic with a Diploma in Fine and Applied Arts, completing a Ceramics Certificate the following year. Weaver largely produces clay tableware with minimal surface decoration. Weaver’s key influences include the work of his teacher Michael Trumic, potter Hans Coper, sculptors Jean Arp and Henry Moore, Scandinavian design and Japanese craft traditions. His series of ‘flatiron’ teapots, based upon a common colonial household item, the flatiron, have become an iconic part of New Zealand ceramic and design history. In 1995, Weaver was awarded a grant through Creative New Zealand to travel and study in the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2007, he was one of six New Zealand potters invited to undertake a residency at FuLe International Ceramic Art Museum, in Fuping, China. In 2010, he was invited as an Artist in Residence at the Sturt Arts Centre in Mittagong, Australia.
