What a weekend!

Thrilled to be included in this weekend’s gt magazine for my upcoming community tile project with Geelong Design Week. A huge thank you to Tessa Hayward for the fabulous write-up and to Alan Barber for the beautiful photos. I’m so excited to see this project come to life and to have the community be part of it.

Saturday was also the official opening of Shared Ground at Untether Gallery + Studios — such a wonderful celebration and a beautiful night with so many talented artists. The biggest thank you to Inge Sachiyo Flinte for curating this wonderful exhibition and bringing us all together.

🌿 Come make a tile with me! 🌿

Join me at Geelong Design Week for From Waste to Surface: A Community Tile Project — a hands-on clay workshop where we’ll use shells, leaves, seed pods, sticks and other natural materials to create unique textures in clay.

The tiles will then be saggar fired using organic waste materials from Geelong and surrounding areas, giving every piece its own completely unpredictable surface.

The tiles will then become part of a larger community project, bringing together lots of individual contributions into one shared artwork.

No experience needed — just come along, get your hands dirty and be part of it! 🖤

SHARED GROUND — opening this Thursday at Untether Gallery

Thrilled to be part of Shared Ground, a group exhibition bringing together ten local artists as part of Geelong Design Week, curated by Inge Sachiyo Flinte

The exhibition explores the ways we are shaped by the places, people, communities and environments around us — and the many connections that grow from simply being here.

I’ll have three larger ceramic pieces and one wall hanging in the show, all made using locally gathered organic materials and connected in different ways to place and community.

You’re warmly invited to join us for the official opening on Saturday 3 October, 1.30–3.30pm at Untether Gallery + Studios

And if you visit during the exhibition, you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to a community artwork.

Hope to see you there 🖤

A little peek at what came out of the latest saggar firing… Al

Some fabulous student work fresh from the kiln, alongside a few larger pieces of mine heading off to a group exhibition for Geelong Design Week.

This firing was packed with seaweed, various native flowers and leaves, mandarin skins and olive pips — and I ran out of banksia pods and gumnuts!

There’s always a bit of anticipation when the kiln is opened, as you never quite know what the organic materials will leave behind.

Looking forward to workshop participants picking up their little treasures🖤

I am absolutely thrilled to be one of the six artists selected for the 2026 (Studio)Lab cohort with

Just over a week into this six-month journey and I am already loving every minute. So far we’ve bound our own books with the fabulous Taryn from Platform Arts, spent an inspiring day exploring Joywork in Desperate Times with Claire and Jen from The Centre for Reworlding, and today I finally began a little plotting, dreaming and making in this beautiful light-filled studio space.

It feels incredibly special to be part of a cohort of thoughtful, generous creatives, with the time and support to explore new ideas, challenge my practice and see where curiosity leads.

I’m excited to share this journey as it unfolds over the coming months.

Check out the rest of the gang:
