For this week's regional wrap we head to Raglan Wharf to speak with Tony Sly of Tony Sly Pottery

Raglan or Whaingaroa is known for its creative style and relaxed surfer vibe, sitting on West Coast, West of Kirikiriroa Hamilton.

It's home to many unique independent creative businesses, something reflected in having a monthly market called the Raglan Creative Market  at the historic Raglan Old School Arts Centre   

Among Tony Sly's Raglan cultural highlights Tony Sly mentions artists Chris Meek and Jean Carbon, the Raglan arts weekend (held every Labour Weekend) and, naturally, his wharf studio.
