Flametree specialises in outdoor artworks for gardens or living spaces - large or small.
Our sculpture gardens host a changing array of artworks in many materials, including ceramic, metal, stone, wood, glass, wire and Perspex.

Among other worksm, we are currently featuring three large ceramic works from ceramic artist Susan St Lawrence's Community Hearth project.

These large ceramic works are wood fired in one piece in purpose-built temporary kilns. The firing takes a whole day with fellow potters and friends helping with wood chopping, stoking and enjoying the camaraderie around the fireplace, hence the name of the project.

Looking inside these pieces you see many small artefacts that were made or donated by fellow artists and friends - including well known Auckland ceramicists Brendon Adams, Margaret Sumich and Helen Perrett - who were involved in each firing. These small treasures at the heart of the larger work represent the galaxy of dreams, hopes and memories we carry around inside outselves.

Opening hours: Thursday to Sunday, 11am - 4pm
