Other Mediums.

Copper and Cane. c.1959
Private Collection.

Len worked with a number of different mediums throughout his life.
Copper seems to have been one of his favourites. He made a number of
works like the one above with copper and cane, as well as trays and
lamp holders.
Pottery also took his interest for a number of years before going overseas.
There was a potting wheel in the porch of the Hataitai home, and he built
an oil fired kiln in the back yard. The family has little of this pottery today
as most was made to be used and has broken over the years. All of Len's
pottery work was made for family, or given away to friends, none was ever sold.
