When Queensland-based Marloe Morgan started her ceramics business in 2014, she landed a remarkable number of commercial and hospitality clients straight out of the gate. But after six years of designing custom pieces for amazing venues like Halcyon House and The Calile Hotel under her brand Marloe Marloe, she missed the decorative side of her practice.

The new Cerulean collection is a return to Marloe’s creative roots. Launched through online fashion retailer Moda Operandi, the collection pairs bumpy glazes with smooth, azure-hued vessels to remind us of the ocean!

When he’s not making ceramic vessels or abstract paintings, artist Enrique Tochez Anderson works part-time as a framer and mount-maker at the NGV and State Library of Victoria. His respect for art history, as well as artisanal craftsmanship stretches into every facet of his life.

From his backyard shed in Clifton Hill, Enrique works at his own multidisciplinary practice, inspired by everything from dub music to Mesoamerican craft. He considers his work as one artistic arc rather than two separate threads existing simultaneously. Instead, his mediums engage in a dialogue, constantly informing and extending the other.

Australian women are increasingly seeking assisted reproductive treatments and choosing to become single mothers,…

A retrospective of street artist Rone’s work has long been in the works, but after several delays (no guesses why!), this much-anticipated exhibition opens this weekend at Geelong Gallery!

Rone in Geelong is a celebration of the artist’s large-scale wall paintings over the past two decades, alongside a new immersive installation.

We joined Rone and Geelong Gallery for a closer look at what’s in store.

Last year’s lockdowns were a turning point in the fledgling practice of student ceramicist, Bell Carver. Where she had previously kept her focus on functional objects, stay-at-home orders and banishment from the RMIT studios led the young creative to play around with the conceptual side of ceramics. And then these experiments won her the inaugural Shelley Simpson Ceramics Prize!

Bell’s gentle porcelain orbs attempt to encapsulate the experience of the months-long lockdown in clay. Two creamy hemispheres split apart along an imaginary central axis remain joined at the seam to represent the slow but assured separation of everyone around the world. Whether by chance or design, Bell’s pieces resemble the earth turned upside down, or completely split in two.

Now that local travel is back on the cards for most Australians, we’re desperate for a holiday to Byron Bay… where the Australian design scene is currently thriving!

The Northern Rivers region’s latest standout accommodation is The Perch, managed by Byron Beach Abodes.

Owners Zach Holmes and Geoff Cochrane bought the Bangalow property in 2019, and spent a year bringing the existing 1970s buildings on site back to life.

This suburban family garden in Hunters Hill has been tended to by the same owners since 2004, whose stewardship oversaw planting of an excellent foundation palette over the last decade. These loving efforts of the amateur gardeners have now been built upon by landscape architect Hugh Burnett.

The clients engaged Hugh and Ballast Landscape builders to add some structure to their beloved green space, uniting the many functions of this high-use space with its lovingly nurtured character.

Why have pizza when you can have galette? Just ask the French… It’s all about the pastry!

As we come to the close of summer, there’s no better time to mix the best of zesty seasonal vegetables with a flaky, buttery golden crust. Here, Julia Busuttil Nishimura gives us a mouthwatering recipe for just that, with her simple, easy-to-assemble savoury galettes, plus three different topping combinations. It’s the perfect way to spotlight those oh-so-good summer veggies that you can’t get enough of right now (*hello* cherry tomatoes!).
