Hobart Hills - Tasmanian Handmade Ceramics

23/09/2026

Back into it! It’s been awesome to step away for a few weeks, refresh, and get some new inspiration. Plenty of stock on the shelves currently, and i’m now already starting to prep for Christmas orders if you can believe it.

Drop by and check out new work as it hits the shop in the coming weeks.

We drove up to the central plateau on the weekend.

It’s one of those landscapes that really captures you: ancient Jurassic dolerite scattered across the lakeside, iron oxidising slowly over millennia into that pale, rust-stained bleach. Like the land has been pulling itself apart for a thousand years.

That’s where this glaze, Tundra is inspired by.

Before the mould, there’s the master.

Every piece at the studio starts here: a hand-built original that becomes the template for the plaster mould, which becomes the form that every cup, bowl and mug is cast from.

One master, made once, used indefinitely.

The view from the studio this morning. Kunanyi in winter. This is the landscape the work comes from.

Eucalypt.

A glaze named after the blue gums that fill the bushland across Tasmania. The same soft, silvery green, captured in its ceramic form.

A mug built for the kind of morning that doesn’t rush.

Tarn.

Named for the still, dark rock pools scattered across Tasmania’s alpine highlands; the colour shifts between slate and deep teal depending on the light.

This is what it looks like in clay, and in your kitchen on a cold morning.

The masses have departed, and now the real winter begins! What a fun few weeks with all the extra MoFo’ers in town, the city has been alive. I sustained a little injury which will hold me back on production a little over the next few weeks, but there are still plenty of ceramics lining the shelves (for now…).

A few shots of some new work. These pieces are on the shelves if you’re coming past and want to check them out. I’ll be getting these uploaded to the online shop as quickly as i can get them all photographed (well, nearly)

New kiln day.

When I started Hobart Hills I was firing an old share kiln every few months, full of test pieces and experiments. This Rohde makes two here at the studio now.

More capacity, more consistency, and honestly a signal to myself that this thing is real and it’s growing.

More work coming
