Susan Simonini handcrafts rustic ceramic homewares

When looking for a new creative outlet, local artist Susan Simonini attended a community pottery class and instantly fell in love. Losing herself in the world of clay, Susan decided to start her own ceramic homewares studio, selling her wares at local markets and online.

Based on the Gold Coast, Susan uses basic and traditional techniques to create her unique pieces, achieving a rustic and textural finish. Each clay piece is rolled and shaped by hand, meaning that no two pieces are exactly the same – key features of Susan’s aesthetic being the uneven edges, organic shapes and other minor ‘imperfections’, such as fingerprints. Playing with decoration and glazing techniques, Susan creates contrasting tones and textures with each design.

Susan Simonini’s ceramic collection includes bowls and plates of all different shapes and sizes, as well as tableware, cups, planters and vases. You can browse her range online via her Etsy store, or look out for her at a number of independent design markets.
