**********************************************************************
***Joe Sartori was production manager at Studio Dybka Tichy in Parramatta, NSW, from 1972-1980.
The studio had been set up by Rudolf Dybka and Vladimir Tichy in late 1969 or 1970. Tichy, who had trained in Prague as a ceramic sculptor and worked in Czech porcelain factories, was head designer.
Under Sartori's direction, the studio produced architectural murals, handmade tiles and a range of distinctive and colourful decorative and functional pottery, mostly supplied to the Grace Brothers and Waltons department stores. When the Studio was taken over by Norbrick in 1980, Sartori moved to Queensland and set up his own pottery there, continuing to make work in a similar style. His signature is an incised or painted JS or J. Sartori.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
