Taking orders for Personalised Pet bowls and slow feeders again in October

Small batch production

Made by my hands, from throwing to decorating, glazing and packaging. With anything handmade, there are small variations that makes each piece unique.

Sustainably made

Each piece is fired in a solar-powered kiln, packaged with plastic-free materials, and crafted using new and recycled clay. Glaze materials and clay are sourced locally where possible, and a conscious effort is made to make products that have a low carbon footprint.

Functionality meets beauty

Ceramics that bring a little art into your home, yet can be used and enjoyed every day. Through illustrations carved onto clay, or sculptural shapes changing the form, a simple piece becomes something unique. Currently inspired by spheres, dots and the shapes of the female form.



About the artist

I'm Jessie, a ceramic artist working from my home studio in Upwey, in the hills of the Dandenong Ranges.

The pieces I make are designed to add beauty and bring a little more art into everyday life.
I am currently focused on using clay to experiment with form, adding sculptural elements to what otherwise would be a simple shape. I purposefully have kept the decoration of my pieces relatively minimalist in order to showcase the form and highlight the tactile, handmade nature of each piece. I want my ceramics to be appreciated as small artworks that make a statement and bring joy to ordinary moments, without being too precious to touch or use.
