Raku Whio

With its striking blue-grey tones and strong stance, this handcrafted whio (blue duck) captures the rare beauty of one of Aotearoa’s most endangered river birds. Sculpted in clay and finished with the raku firing technique, Sophie Lankovsky’s work reflects both resilience and fragility.

This piece honours the wild waterways the whio calls home while bringing a touch of New Zealand’s natural heritage into yours.
