The Donaldsons arrived ready to work and were active from day one. Each of them created new works over the two-week residency. Whilst in Poatina they collaborated with other resident artists and shared knowledge and skills including assisting studio manager Keith Dougall improve some functionality at the Poatina Glass Studio. They created a vibrant, energetic studio atmosphere and promoted artistic exchange and learning. They followed up their residency with an exhibition at McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park July - Aug 2025.
"We had an amazing time making large scale exhibition work with world class facilities and an amazing community that couldn’t do enough for us. We highly recommend spending time in this inspiring beautiful location. Being able to walk to work. We loved it."
