“Thermal, hypoallergenic, easy to sterilise, and made from a resistant material.”
Those were the words Mexican artist Iza Lozano used to promote her ceramic dildo workshop to create fun, beautiful and safe” sex toys in Wellington, New Zealand, in November.
But instead of drawing the attention of interested parties, the staging of the workshop was sternly opposed by senior members of the Wellington Potters Association, and ads promoting the workshop were abruptly taken down, and the event cancelled.
A highly publicised spat within the association ensued, resulting in the resignation of its former president, Nicole Gaston, who was at odds with the committee members opposing the workshop.
