CERAMICS<br />
Occupying one of Christchurch’s few remaining Victorian and<br />
Edwardian style warehouses, NG Boutique (Madras Street) is<br />
known for its beautifully crafted clothing selected on twice-yearly<br />
Paris buying trips by owner Sharon Ng. She also has a love for<br />
artisanal object designers and, alongside the racks of exquisite<br />
clothing from Demuelemeester, Comme des Garçons and<br />
contemporaries, you’ll also find homewares on sale. You might find<br />
works by noted ceramist Paul Maseyk, who produces ceramics<br />
ranging from tableware through to highly illustrated large sculptural<br />
pieces. He is also represented in numerous public collections<br />
within New Zealand including Te Papa Tongarewa, The Dowse<br />
Art Museum and the Auckland War Memorial Museum.<br />

JEWELLERY<br />
Form Gallery (Colombo Street) was established<br />
in 1993 by Koji Miyazaki, himself a talented<br />
jeweller, expressly to showcase object art. It<br />
represents more than 30 fine artistic jewellers<br />
and this month is exhibiting the work of three in<br />
Scale (until 24 <strong>September</strong>): Elfi Spiewack, Jeremy<br />
Leeming and Lynn Kelly.<br />
In Wanaka, Gallery 33 is another big on<br />
jewellers with 24 in the stable. Its latest addition<br />
is local Niki White who makes big hoops,<br />
chunky rings and cuffs with attitude. Also new<br />
this month are some next level, pretty jewels<br />
made by Penelope Barnhill including two, to-diefor<br />
Eclipse rings.<br />

MODERNIST DESIGN<br />
At CoCA (until 6 October), Sydney comedian, television presenter and “self-described<br />
design nerd” Tim Ross explores the romanticism of Modernist architecture though a<br />
nostalgic eye in The Mid Century Project. His inventive advocacy for architecture and<br />
design has seen him win awards for his top-rating Australian TV series Streets of Your<br />
Town and speak at the opening of the London Design Museum in 2016. Following up his<br />
2018 Design Nation show at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, this exhibition of poster art,<br />
photos and video installations features iconic buildings from Christchurch and beyond.
