Jo Luping Design - Ponga Frond 24cm Porcelain Bowl

Its unfurling frond symbolizes strength, growth and new beginnings.

 Jo Luping Design of Aotearoa, started as many small cottage businesses start, in the garage. “I had spent some time after art school travelling through Europe when I came upon Gaudi’s Parc Guell. And so began my obsession with glazes and the rich deep colours that you can achieve from this medium. I returned to New Zealand, opened a studio and began in 1994 to develop my first series of ceramic art tiles. Since then I have grown to work in a wide range of mediums ranging from ceramics, to textiles, to precious metals and now to upcycled plastic and glass waste."
