Wi Taepa
Wi Te Tau Pirika Taepa (born in 1946 in Wellington) is a New Zealand ceramicist of Ngāti Pikiao, Te-Roro-o-Te-Rangi, Te Arawa and Te Āti Awa descent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/topic/1314 )〕 He is recognised as a significant figure in contemporary New Zealand ceramics, and a leading figure in contemporary Māori clay art.
==Early career==
After leaving school Taepa worked as a window display designer for a Wellington department store for five year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/topic/1314 )〕 In 1968 he enlisted with the New Zealand Army and served in Vietnam from 1970 to 1972.〔
After his military career Taepa worked as a prison officer at Rimutaka Prison where he used art as a way of connecting with prisoners, teaching wood and bone carving and leather and copper work.〔 He also took part in carving two pou for the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington at this time and worked on the Orongomai meeting house in Upper Hutt.
In 1985 Taepa became a social worker at Kohitere Boys Farm and again introduced art as a form of connection and rehabilitation. He began working with clay at this time as obtaining wood for carving was expensive and the tools potentially dangerous.〔
