Emma Zhang is a ceramics artist based who grew up in Shenzhen,China.
Emma’s trade name ‘ Rui Ceramics’ reflects her regard for this tradition. Rui Rui is her Chinese name meaning ‘ first snow of the spring’. She is also inspired by the beauty of the New Zealand landscape, particularly the beaches close to her home. Mixing her own glazes she is mindful of the earthy tones of sand and soil and the blue-green of the sea in all its moods.
