In June 2026, St Columba's weekly community lunch will have been running for nine years - a real testament to the dedicated volunteers who cook week in, week out for a community of (currently) 60-70 regular attendees, for 43 weeks of the year.
And it is St Columba's Clay Works Potters' Market that supports this – and other - community work. From small beginnings in 2015, Clay Works has evolved to be the largest pottery display and sale in Aotearoa New Zealand - a destination event in Auckland's arts calendar. Potters are invited from Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond, such as (this year) from the Coromandel, Great Barrier Island and Opotiki.
On 8 and 9 May, the St Columba Church hall will be buzzing with pottery lovers and potters eager to see this year's showcase of well-known and emerging potters' work. The pottery is diverse by every measure and there will be something for everyone.
With Mothers Day falling the day after Clay Works ends, it is the perfect opportunity to find a special gift for the mums in your life. Come and see for yourself, on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May, 10am - 4pm.
St Columba's, 92 Surrey Crescent, Grey Lynn.
