Lou Billinghurst's first solo exhibition to open at Timaru art gallery

Ceramicist Lou Billinghurst opened her first solo exhibition at Timaru’s York Street Gallery of Fine Arts on Friday. The show features a range of ceramic works including wall art and three totem poles, which Billinghurst describes as bringing out whimsical elements and offering light relief from the world. She rekindled her pottery practice about 10 years ago after moving to Timaru to care for her late mother, and has since taught hand-building with the South Canterbury Pottery Group.
