Hermannsburg Potters - http://www.hermannsburgpotters.com.au
A man named Victor Jaensch, from Greenock in the Barossa Valley was the first person to teach pottery at Hermannsburg. He searched and found suitable clay and supervised the construction of a small kiln. His two key teaching assistants at the time, Nashasson Ungwanaka and Joesph Rontji began to make figures and animals from clay. The first clay pieces were painted and sold to tourist from a craft shop at Hermannsburg in the early 1970's. Hermannsburg Potters now exhibited extensively throughout Australia and overseas. The group also undertaken major mural commissions for corporate and government clients.
