Rare Creative Opportunity: Passing the Torch at Whenuakite

After nearly 50 years on their much-loved property, legendary Coromandel potters and long-time Art Escape members Alan and Julia Rhodes are ready to pass their creative haven on to its next custodian.

This is a rare chance to step straight into a country potter’s dream. Set on four serene acres of native bush, the property is a fully equipped sanctuary for any artist.

The Creative Haven Includes:

  • A spacious, purpose-built studio & retail shop.
  • Multiple kilns & high-quality equipment (pug mill, slab roller, etc.).
  • The Crown Jewel: Your very own clay pit just metres from the studio door!
  • A warm four-bedroom home with self-contained Airbnb facilities.

Fun Fact: Alan was a founding member of the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band back in 1966!

If this unique lifestyle sounds like your next chapter—or you know someone who would flourish here—please reach out for the full details and studio inventory.
