The maker
An architect, then a ceramist.
Carla trained as an architect before she found clay on a student exchange in Budapest. After her degree she studied artistic ceramics, and the two disciplines never really separated, the same eye for structure, material and weight now shapes every piece that leaves the studio.
A practice built on one idea
What began as restaurant tableware for a handful of Adelaide kitchens grew into a small studio practice with a single principle: tableware you can trace to a real pair of hands. Every plate is thrown, trimmed, glazed and fired in the studio in Tranmere.
The material philosophy
The glazes begin as places. Iceland basalt, Jordan sand, the mineral blue-green of wet rock at the waterline. We chase how stone breaks and erodes, then find that surface again in clay and let the kiln finish it.
