The meat raffle

On my OE from London in the late 1980s, my friend and I worked in Kerikeri picking kiwifruit for $40 per day.

We quickly became immersed in the local culture where people’s fathers (all farmers it seemed) wore black singlets, shouted at the TV when the All Blacks played, and enjoyed the meat raffle.

It was the best time. ‘The Meat Raffle’ is sculpted in stoneware, mid-fired with oxide, acrylic and glaze.
