Creativity flourishes in Waihi, and artists like Millie Robinson find inspiration at every turn.
As the proud owner of Laughing Pottery, Millie feels her artistic journey is a tale of Clay serendipity, resilience and a deep connection to a vibrant community.
Growing up, I wanted to be an artist, a professional wrestler, musician, writer, actor and director. Dare I say it, I have had the privilege of doing all of the above.
The sunlight filters through the window illuminating a glorious bunch of flowers on an old kitchen table. Inside, the basement studio is a hive of activity … heads are bowed over colourful creations as members of this group settle into their mahi.
Step into the whirlwind of my emotions, captured on paper. As a hyper-sensory being, commonly known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I navigate life, both internal and external, with heightened senses. This ‘superpower’ lets me convey emotions through shapes, colours, density, light, and brushstrokes. My latest artworks offer a glimpse into my soul, revealing deep emotions: joy, despair, and liberation.
Whenever people tell me they want to get into tattooing, I think about artists all over the world and reflect on how the art form has changed since I started. Surely, many people through the ages of tattooing have had these thoughts.
