Welcome to HotPotz Studio.
A working pottery studio in Rotorua where every piece is handmade from start to finish by Rob and Rose Powley.
Where the Magic Happens
Rob has been potting for over 50 years (yes, that’s five decades of throwing!)
His happy place? Sitting at the wheel, throwing one pot after another like a caffeinated wizard.
It's part art, part science, and part sheer muscle memory—and Rob's got it down to an artform.
Crafted For Life.
Made By Hand.
No Moulds. Ever.
WORKSHOPS
Clay Days with Rose
Rose’s handbuilt creations are full of whimsy and charm—Scandinavian gnomes, rabbits, trees, angels, and even entire chess sets. She also runs workshops perfect for hens’ parties, baby showers, team days, or just a good excuse to get messy with clay.

Functional Art for Everyday Joy
Our collection includes bowls, platters, mugs and more. Some are practical, some are decorative—and many are both. Whether it’s for breakfast, dinner parties, or a cheeky apple crumble, our pottery brings beauty to your table. From oven to dishwasher, it’s made to work hard and look good doing it.
