It’s all about bringing nature inside for me. 🌱💚 #hangingplanter #handthrownceramics #tradethemark #mosspathways #bringthegardeninside https://www.instagram.com/p/CqoT5IDhh_v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My love for banksias is truly endless. The flowers, the leaves, the pods in all stages. This entire tree, is full of natural gifts. Little vases are the perfect size to hold one stem. 💚💗 #boldceramics #popcolour #tradethemark #littlevases #banksia #handthrownvases #bringthegardeninside (at Darkinjung) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqcZFgovXRM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m so lucky and grateful to peer out my windows and have this view. Our home is perched on a hill and we have a pole home. Living is upstairs and studio is underneath. The view shifts from being in the canopy of the trees to a vista of the lower trunks and branches that support the canopy. I’m surrounded by Angophora’s, Casuarina’s and so many types of Eucalyptus. I can’t help but soak up all the insanely beautiful natural hues. 💚 #australianceramics #boldceramics #contemporaryceramics #handthrownpottery #christinamclean #tradethemark #oneoffceramics #interiorobjects #ceramique #keramik #interiorstyling (at Darkinjung) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWrveQvfRk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My very talented friend Peta @thekidcreative had a stall @makeit.market last Saturday at Leichhardt town Hall. She embroidered this jacket & added the divine lemon buttons . I can’t tell you how much I LOVE this bespoke piece. 💙💛 Can I thank everyone that came to the first MAKE - IT market, what a gorgeous day in that sweet space. The creativity and diversity of the stall holders was beyond. The big hearted organisers @emi.ceramics @lizlaustudio @albatrossceramic truly blew all of our minds. And to all my wonderful customers new and old, thank you. I love hearing your stories about how you live and love my work, these truly warm my heart. My last event of the year is this Wednesday afternoon for the Carriageworks Twilight Christmas Market. I hope to see you there for my last hurrah. I have one final kiln to unpack with some more ceramic goodies. 🧡 #thekidcreative #beapoketextileecreations #make-itmarket #innerweatcreatives #tradethemark #oneoffceramics https://www.instagram.com/p/CmU1QE0hhZx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
