PENELOPE SPOTTED // This photo perfectly illustrates one of the many plot twists for an artwork. After many hours spent creating this beautiful egg - it is now time to cut the lid...

Whenever a ceramic artist slices into their artwork, we collectively hold our breath as a studio. While pieces can sometimes be mended or sections be remade - time saved in fixing, is time spent in the throes of joyful creating.

You can find Penelope's artworks in our Gallery. Give her a follow on Instagram & get a peek into her mind & process 📸!

CREATOR SPOTLIGHT // Meet our Studio Member, Manda! A creative soul with a background in music & art. She thrives on new techniques that push the boundaries of what is possible - both on the wheel & hand building.

Most recently, she has been geeking out on underglazes (akin to specialist paints that can survive the extreme temperatures of our kiln). Her playful spirit led her to developing techniques to mimic watercolour effects in her finishes.

These remarkably life-like floral plates are a part of a larger body of work Manda has been creating. One part mindful foraging and one part delicate watercolour painting. Find her work or on the 26th November at at UWA.

Follow Manda on Instagram to stay up to date on her latest creations/commissions/more!

ISAAC GOULD // Better known as one of the 🧔🧔. Inspired by flowing shapes & Japanese culture, Isaac’s large-scale vessels & water sculptures focus on balance. Before opening Terraform Studio with his wife, Kell Lakia, he has been a designer & entrepreneur for many years between Australia and America. In between his commissions, he finds time to teach his students.

Isaac: "Rewind to my early years, I was a curious lad with many interests, but found it impossible to focus on only one. I've always loved to draw, as well as woodworking, metal work and engineering. It wasn't until university when I took my first class in ceramics. I was hooked. Clay is this magical material that combines all the aspects - draw, sculpt, carve, and construct. I became obsessed with ceramics and the process. During those years in university, I would spend hours in the pottery studio, through the night into the early mornings. I loved the community. There was always someone to bounce ideas off and build on."

Fast forward to today, Terraform Studio has been built around community and collaboration at the core. If you haven't stopped in to see us in the Mandurah Foreshore or visited us online, don't be a stranger. Come say g'day, we'd love to meet you. 🙏😊

CLAY MASTER, HAMISH // Massive congrats to our Winter 2023 Clay Challenge winner (prompt: Beer Steins)!!

Drawing inspiration from his homeland - New Zealand - this epic Beer Stein is one-of-a-kind! The nostalgic weathered bronze glaze gives nod to ages past. It is familiar and yet elements of fantasy could fool anyone into believing this is a relic, found amongst a dusty round table.

Hamish Webster plays with the physical, atmospheric and chemical reactions in pottery - evoking emotion of vast dramatic landscapes. The surface textures of his vessels create micro environments that allow you to get lost in a world of its own. Keep an eye out for more of his work, coming soon!

Want to join the next clay challenge?! Give us a follow, we announce the next theme/prompt Wednesday at 6pm, Perth Time.
