DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rare and inspiring evening with RICK RUDD, one of\nAotearoa New Zealand’s most celebrated ceramic artists.\n\nBritish-born and trained at Wolverhampton College of Art (Diploma of\nArt and Design, Ceramics, 1972), Rick has been a cornerstone of New\nZealand’s ceramics community since settling here in 1973. Over five\ndecades he has exhibited nationally and internationally, received\nnumerous awards, and contributed significantly to the\nfield—including serving as President of the New Zealand Society of\nPotters (1988–91). In 2020 he was awarded a MNZM for services to\nceramic art.\n\nRick’s works are held in major collections across the motu,\nincluding Auckland Museum, Waikato Museum, The Dowse, Te Manawa,\nChristchurch Art Gallery, MTG Hawke’s Bay, the Sarjeant Gallery, and\nmore.\n\nIn 2013 Rick established the RICK RUDD FOUNDATION, gifting his\nbuilding and extensive personal collection to create a lasting public\nresource. This vision led to the opening of the QUARTZ MUSEUM OF\nSTUDIO CERAMICS in Whanganui in 2015—the only dedicated museum for\nstudio ceramics in Aotearoa and home to a remarkable collection of\naround 4,500 works. Quartz continues to grow, inspire, and provide\nvital support for the next generation of makers.\n\n🍽 POT LUCK KAI — Bring a dish to share.\n💛 ENTRY BY KOHA — All proceeds support the QUARTZ MUSEUM OF\nSTUDIO CERAMICS and its mission to preserve, celebrate, and uplift\nceramic art in Aotearoa.\n\nCome share food, community, and an extraordinary opportunity to hear\ndirectly from one of New Zealand’s most influential ceramic voices.\nWe’d love to see you there!\n - manager@waikatopotters.co.nz - https://www.eventspronto.co.nz/rick_rudd_talk_2026
