About Emily
My pots are influenced by my rural life as well as a childhood travelling the world with my rather alternative family. They always had a great respect for the handmade which I took on. To use an item that has been formed by another's hand is a privilege and a delight.
Our farm is near Cobargo on the far south coast of NSW. This area is remote and wild and the land fertile and lush. Living here has made my work flourish. Its a very artistic and musical area, always so much going on and so much support for art.
We have also built the most fabulous studio which is pleasure to enter.
I am making more sculptures and colourful work, experimenting more... its a lot of fun.
Before we moved here in 2014, we lived in central west NSW also a beautiful part of the world.
I have CRAFTMARK ACCREDITATION awarded by the Crafts Council of Australia to craft workers who produce consistent high-quality work.
