Neil Hoffmann

Venue 5

Jun 2

Neil Hoffmann lives and works in Reedy Marsh Tasmania, where he has worked with clay and fire for over thirty-five years. Initially producing gas-fired tableware, Neil now fires wood burning kilns for the making of both sculpture and tableware.

Between 1996 and 2001, Neil convened the Claydown Tasmania Summer School programs at his Reedy Marsh Pottery, and in 2001 was awarded a MFAD from the University of Tasmania. In 2011 he convened the international Woodfire Tasmania event in Deloraine.

Since 2009, Neil has been represented in the Australian Art collection at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.

Neil will be working in a marquee with a number of other potters to provide an interactive experience incorporating hands on potting, a Clay Hat Parade and a Potters Clay Olympics.
