Becky Richards
Studio Director
Becky Richards (b. 1988) is an Aotearoa New Zealand maker, writer and educator. She grew up in Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and is currently based in Tāmaki-makau-rau (Auckland). Richards holds a BFA (hons) from Ilam School of Fine Arts, University of Canterbury, and an MFA (first class hons) from Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland.
Richards’ creative practice bridges sculpture, installation, ceramics, words and workshops.
