Rick Rudd: creating New Zealand's only museum devoted to the ceramic arts
from Culture 101
Ten years ago acclaimed potter Rick Rudd sold his house - together with its unique native and sculpture garden - in Castlecliff, Whanganui to establish Quartz Museum of Studio Ceramics in downtown Whanganui. Born from Rudd’s concern that there was nowhere where you could see exhibited the history of New Zealand ceramics, it is Aotearoa’s only museum devoted to the ceramic arts, and the largest ceramics display in this country.
