Please help find a missing pottery installation
Someone has removed a pottery installation that was placed under the pine trees at the start of the Highbury Fling. The work was done by local ceramicist Rebecca Flowerday aka Potterazzi.
Rebecca selected one piece to be installed on the Highbury Fling walk as a 'thanks' for everyone who makes The Highbury Fling a great environment and also as a piece of artwork for the walkers and bike riders to enjoy as they pass by.
Rebecca liked how people interacted with it and was very pleased that it was never intentionally vandalised. The broken vines were always a part of it, as scattered pieces on the forest floor and there was always a person/s who would neatly stack the vines on the top of the Tower. Perhaps thinking they shouldn't have been scattered and lost within the pines. Humans are curious and she knew that it would be tinkered with from time to time.
Rebecca never thought anyone would pick the ceramic art piece up and have it away. The 3 component parts are quite heavy and then secured with railway sleepers!
Please help find out if this piece has gone to a good home. Rebecca’s preference is to have it still up on The Fling and she hopes people have got some enjoyment out of it for its short life up there.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
