Tom Somerville’s passion is  pottery. He lives and works in Helensville, and his brand is Muddy Fingers (find more about his style at www.muddyfingers.co.nz)

He realised that he loved making things, especially things that might be appreciated and cherished. As a consequence of this light bulb moment he enrolled in a pottery class which changed everything. He met his wife while working in Tonga many years ago, and while he was living there he spent as much time a he could snorkelling about the reefs. He loved those secret little worlds that were abuzz with life. Nowadays they have a joint passion for gardening. As a result of these 2 influences his work tends to be inspired by foliage, flowers, corals & fish.
