Handmade Pottery with Character
In my Melbourne studio, I create both functional stoneware and highly specialised crystalline ceramics. My work ranges from everyday mugs, bowls and serving pieces to one-of-a-kind crystalline vessels, each made by hand and individually finished.
What connects every piece is a love of experimentation. Some collections focus on earthy glazes, organic forms and the beauty of everyday use, while others explore the fascinating science of crystalline glazing, where carefully controlled firings produce intricate crystal patterns that can never be exactly repeated.
Whether you're choosing a favourite mug for your morning coffee, searching for a meaningful handmade gift, or adding a statement piece to your home, every item is created to be used, enjoyed and treasured for years to come.
From Everyday Pottery to Crystalline Art
I've always been drawn to clay—its texture, colour, and endless potential for transformation. My pottery journey began in the late 1980s, when I first discovered the satisfaction of turning a simple lump of clay into something both beautiful and useful.
After starting a family, my creative focus shifted into other ventures, from custom dressmaking to running an exclusive boutique for more than 30 years.
When COVID brought that chapter to an unexpected pause, I found myself returning to the pottery wheel and reconnecting with a passion that had never really left me. Buxton Pottery was reborn.
Today, I create handmade pottery from my Melbourne studio, combining traditional wheel-thrown techniques with a love of experimentation.
From everyday mugs and serving pieces to specialised crystalline ceramics, every piece is made by hand and reflects my belief that functional objects should be both practical and beautiful.
