MEET THE ARTIST & TUTOR

well hello there!
i'm ani

Clay is more than just a passion; it’s the essence of my creative expression.

​

As an independent ceramic artist, my journey with clay began with my first pottery lesson, igniting a lifelong adventure that has led me to become a dedicated tutor and potter. Nestled in the hills overlooking Lake Taupo, Camo Chicken Studio produces ceramics that are both functional and sculptural, blending utility with beauty.

 

Our creations are inspired by the inherent strength and delicate nature of clay, resulting in organically functional pieces. We share our knowledge through pottery wheel classes and studio workshops.

Embracing the four seasons in their truest form, I draw inspiration from nature to craft unique art and pottery.
