Thought here. Made by hand.

Small-batch ceramics from a home studio in Melbourne, inspired by texture, pattern and the natural world.

Every mug, dish and vase is thrown or built by Michelle Cooper, textured with rollers and stamps she designs herself, and fired in a kiln in her garden.

The maker
