Whanganui-based Rick Rudd is one of New Zealand's leading studio potters.
His award-winning pottery is showcased in major museum and gallery collections across New Zealand. With a career spanning numerous exhibitions, workshops, and demonstrations both locally and internationally, his craftsmanship is widely recognized and celebrated.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using the pinching and coiling technique with terracotta clay. The distinctive satin black, shiny black, and bronze glazes are applied primarily with a sponge before being fired to 1135°C in an electric kiln, resulting in beautifully refined works of art.
