Jo Beckett, Artisan of the Waikato
Jo Beckett is a passionate clay artist who has dedicated her craft to capturing the essence of New Zealand's natural beauty. With a Diploma in Craft and Design majoring in Clay earned in 1992, she brings over 30 years of experience to her studio nestled in Cambridge.
Working primarily with clay, Jo Beckett creates captivating garden art and sculptural pieces that celebrate the rich tapestry of Aotearoa's native flora and fauna. From the delicate curves of a koru frond to the textured majesty of a pohutukawa bloom, her work infuses everyday spaces with a touch of the extraordinary.
Inspired by the vibrant landscapes and unique wildlife that surround her, Jo Beckett's creations are a testament to her deep appreciation for the natural world. Each piece is meticulously crafted, imbued with a sense of movement and life that invites viewers to connect with the inherent beauty of New Zealand's native environment.
Whether adorning a garden oasis or gracing an indoor space, Jo Beckett's work serves as a constant reminder of the precious taonga (treasures) that thrive within New Zealand's borders.
