Giant Coffee Cup Street Art

Next time you are in Gouger Street take a look at this “Giant Coffee Cup” – a fascinating piece of street art featuring a large ceramic coffee cup thrown by master potter Mark Heidenreich, decorated by artist Gerry Wedd, and wrapped around a lamp post. You will find the sculpture directly in front of the F-Duck restaurant at 65 Gouger St, Adelaide – which just happens to be around the corner from Mark’s Terra-Villa pottery studio at 10 Compton Street and is also much worth a visit.
