Fiona Bryant is a Māori clay artist based in Tairāwhiti, creating ceramic taonga grounded in whenua, whakapapa and community connection. Working across sculptural and functional pieces, each work is shaped slowly by hand and guided by kaupapa Māori values. Drawn to clay for its ability to carry stories, Fiona creates unique pieces that hold meaning, memory and connection. Through her practice and workshops, she hopes to inspire warmth, belonging and connection.
