About Coast & Clay

Handmade ceramics inspired by the ocean,
crafted on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Coast & Clay is a one-person ceramics studio making functional pieces for everyday use — kitchens, slow mornings, and daily routines.
Each piece is made in small batches, with a focus on practicality, calm design, and ocean-inspired details.

How Coast & Clay started

My care for conservation grew from time spent at the beach and noticing the impact people have on our oceans.

A turtle found affected by plastic was a turning point, and became the reason behind Coast & Clay.

I work from my home studio in Mona Vale, throwing and hand-building each piece before carving and glazing by hand.

Giving Back

Ocean care is central to my work.

I support ocean conservation through ongoing giving and intentional action, and I continue to look for meaningful ways to contribute as Coast & Clay grows.

How I Work

I work in small batches, using eco-minded materials and processes where possible. Clay and water are recycled in the studio, and waste is kept to a minimum.

My pieces are made to be used and lived with — comfortable to hold, durable, and practical for everyday life. I aim to make ceramics that feel good to use, and are made with care for the places that inspire them.

Coast & Clay is about small choices — choosing handmade, choosing longevity, and choosing to care.
