From compact bud vases to bold statement pieces, each one is handmade in Wollongong and glazed in layers of colour that make them impossible to walk past. Standalone statement pieces, or showing off your brightest bunch of flowers - it's up to you. From $45.
Rhiannon Gill makes colourful handmade ceramics and pottery in Australia, in her Bellambi studio on the south coast of NSW, casting or building, glazing and firing every piece herself. The range covers mugs and cups for everyday use, bowls for serving, plates and platters for the table, vases for the shelf, planters for the windowsill and table lamps for the bedside. Everything is colourful, handmade and one of a kind. Nothing is mass-produced. New pieces come out of the kiln every week, and free local pickup is available from the studio.

Even more beautiful in person then the online pics. So very happy with my purchase, my Mum loved them too and can't wait to now buy some for myself.

Handmade Ceramic Cup - Watermelon
We love our coffee and tea, and it makes it so much more fun drinking out of our colourful, happy cups. They're just gorgeous and we love them.

My plates arrived very well packaged. They are the perfect size and the patterns are beautiful. The colours aren’t quite the same as in the photos, but still beauriful. The backs are a little rougher than I expected, but make sense given the plates are handmade. I’m waiting for the bowls to come back in stock so I can increase my collection!

Handmade Ceramic Pasta Bowl - Sorbet
Comfortable cup to drink from. Colours that make me smile. I also love the comparison of the smooth glaze to the clay texture.

One studio. One maker. Nothing mass-produced.
Handmade ceramics from a one woman studio.
Every mug, bowl, plate, vase, planter and lamp on this site was made by hand in Bellambi, NSW: cast or built from clay, glazed in layers of colour and fired twice in the kiln. Each one is different, and no two are ever quite the same. Local pickup available.
