The potter and craftsman behind Laughing Pottery
Learning the craft has taken years. No stranger to the potter’s wheel, Andrew comes from a family background rich with experience and expertise.
“Pottery for me is a creative listening art.”
It’s a tactile art form that allows me to flow with creativity while adhering to simple architect and design principles.” These hand-crafted pieces take time to emerge, often crafted, glazed and fired many times over before it reaches completion.
“The clay forms and speaks in my hands, teaching me as I go.”
My work is a great balance of quality and art, it is the expression of the pure, simple imperfection of handmade pottery. I create one off pieces, dinnerware sets, commissions and orders for restaurants and businesses.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful pottery. Fair pricing.Many of the innovative glazes are made using local materials- a speckled one is particularly attractive.
If we weren't from overseas with five more weeks of travel here left we would have purchased some.
For $20 you can paint a bowl or mug that will then be glazes and fired.
The owner/potter is very personable. Taking time to talk to us, recommend places to go and warn us of a bridge that is washed out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome first time pottery lesson at Laughing Pottery! I booked two of us in for a 1.5 hour session and we both had a wonderful time even with no prior experience. Andrew was a wonderful teacher- very knowledgable and gave a good overview of the process before we sat down to create. He was patient and helpful as we navigated throwing our first bowls and cups. We were even able to order a custom butter bell we had been dreaming of. Highly recommend!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A surprisingly enjoyably and fulfilling way to spend a morning in Waihi. Worth a drive if you're not in Waihi. Andrew has a great way with people and an infectious passion for the craft. You'll be pleasantly surprised with what you end up with too. They can adapt the experience to your group and time as well. So glad we decided to do this. Thanks guys.
