About

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

Coast & Clay is a small ceramics studio making functional pieces for everyday use; kitchens, slow mornings, and daily routines.

Each piece is made in small batches, focused on practicality, calm design, and ocean-inspired detail.

How Coast & Clay started

Tahli’s care for our oceans has been shaped by time spent walking along her local beach and seeing litter, and its impact on marine life.

She works from her home studio in Mona Vale, designing pieces before throwing or hand-building, then carving and glazing each one.

The Process

Pieces are made in small batches using thoughtful, low-waste studio practices. Clay and water are recycled, and material use is kept to a minimum.

Each piece is designed to be comfortable, durable, and practical for everyday use.

Beyond the Studio

Ocean care is central to Coast & Clay.

Tahli continues to look for meaningful ways Coast & Clay can support ocean conservation as the business grows.
