Bob Hay: An Eclectic Collector
In late 2022, Canberra Potters received a generous donation of Japanese, Australian and New Zealand ceramics by local collector Bob Hay. Hay first became interested in Japanese ceramics more than half a century ago when, after taking up potting, he realised that he felt most in tune with the Japanese aesthetic; thus marking the beginning of his love affair with the wabi-sabi style of ceramics, and subsequently, an ever-growing collection of rare and beautiful pieces.
Amanda Poland asked for my help in making a short film about Bob and his collection, which was screened at the Canberra Potters Gallery in June 2023. Film available upon request due to privacy agreement.
