Indigo Clay
hand made ceramics . bespoke short runs . pottery classes & workshops
this is me
. . . I make pots by the sea . . .
I create objects from clay, to be appreciated and handled every day, from my seaside studio on the Fleurieu peninsula, South Australia.
After graduating with a Degree in Design/Ceramics at the Uni SA school of Art, I worked in my own studio in the Adelaide hills before moving to the beach.
I had a short hiatus from clay and studied Ayurvedic medicine and set up a wellness centre, but clay is my passion so it inevitably beckoned me back.
I work with stoneware and porcelain, mostly wheel thrown functional pieces and I formulate my own glazes to reflect the inspirations from the surrounding coastal environment.
I am deliberate and considered about technique, form and function and believe that each piece can hold the energetic intention of the maker.
It is a profound, ponderous, meditative practise.

" There’s something beautifully respectful about turning earth into finely made objects to be treasured by their owners...
the process is fun, rewarding and always a little unpredictable."
