About Us

Hi, I’m Katherine Mercer! Pottery has been my hobby and passion for years, and I love the way clay can turn into something beautiful with just a little creativity. In 2022, I decided to start Licraft because I wanted to make quality kilns and pottery supplies affordable for everyone in New Zealand.

I’ve even traveled to Jingdezhen, China, the world’s porcelain capital, to handpick tools and supplies that are both high-quality and practical. Every item we bring in is chosen with care so you can spend less time hunting for the right tools and more time creating and enjoying your pottery.

At Licraft, we’re here to help you explore your creativity, try new ideas, and have fun with your craft — because pottery is for everyone, and it should always be enjoyable.
