About Warren Tippett
Warren Tippett was a renowned New Zealand ceramicist, born on June 19, 1941, in Auckland, New Zealand. He is best known for his unique style of pottery that fused Maori and European motifs to create striking and original works. Tippett studied at the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1962. After completing his degree, he traveled to Japan to study pottery and wood firing techniques. He was deeply influenced by the Japanese ceramic tradition and incorporated many of its elements into his own work. In the 1970s, Tippett became interested in Maori culture and began to incorporate Maori designs and motifs into his work. He collaborated with Maori artists to develop a style that blended Maori and European techniques, resulting in his signature style that featured intricate patterns and bold, colorful designs. Tippett's work was exhibited extensively in New Zealand and internationally, including exhibitions in Australia, Japan, and the United States. He won many awards throughout his career, including the prestigious Fletcher Brownbuilt Ceramic Award in 1986. Tragically, Tippett's life was cut short when he died in a car accident in 1994 at the age of 53. His legacy, however, lives on through his distinctive and influential works, which have inspired and influenced generations of New Zealand and international ceramicists.,p>
