Absolutely incredible and inspirational. Even if ceramics isn’t your thing, this collection will blow you away. Rick Rudd met us at the door and was on hand with his exceptional knowledge of everything ceramic in NZ. Highly recommend you take the time.

What a treat. You're greeted at the door by ceramic artist and collector Rick Rudd then it's up to you to immerse yourself in the lovingly curated collection of contemporary and classic ceramic works. As a bonus you may well even catch Rick with his hands in the clay, adding to a lifetime of work that began in the late 60s

What a wonderful, inspiring place! We drove there today from Wellington, and although it was a long drive, it was well worth it. Artist and collector Rick Rudd has created an amazing collection of work. New Zealand has a strong reputation among potters worldwide, and today's visit confirmed that it's well-deserved. Thanks, Rick, for being such a warm, knowledgeable host.

Rick Rudd has gone above and beyond to not only display and sell a fine selection his own work, but to passionately track down, collect, exhibit and curate some New Zealands finest pottery and examples of work that has inspired him. We couldn't leave without purchasing the most amazing tea pot ever!!

We visited the Quartz Museum today and really enjoyed the extensive collection on display here. The museum houses exhibitions by different artists, their works dated between the 20th century to today. We really loved this 'ceramic timeline' and haven't experienced this anywhere else! Each artists corner felt personal and it was so nice to see a diverse range of artists with a bit of their story as well as their work. We met Rick Rudd who has a small working studio area here. It was lovely to have a chat and be able to ask questions. Highly recommend a visit.

A beautifully curated collection of the best studio pottery produced in New Zealand of the past 100 years. We thoroughly enjoyed wandering the two floors of salon rooms which showcase a large body of works from some of the best kiwi ceramic artists. These collections would not be out of place in any major museum retrospective. . Ricks own work is amazing and his passion evident everywhere. Thank you for sharing this with us so generously. You are a National treasure!

I rarely write reviews but I was so charmed by this very large little museum that today I will. For anyone who loves museums in general, the Quartz is a lesson in the power of what one committed person is capable of. For anyone who loves ceramics, the Quartz is a veritable candy store of artistic treasures. For anyone looking for a flood of creative inspiration, the Quartz will satisfy. I don't think there is anywhere else like this in the world. It's a rare and precious collection that should not be missed. Please do go out of your way to visit because you will be glad you did. I was fortunate to meet the founder while there. Rick was as delightful as his museum and a fantastic artist. You are doing important work Rick, keep it up.
