OPEN STUDIO AND LITTLE FETE IN THE GARDEN  7th & 8th NOVEMBER, 2026 

 

 

Apprenticed to Viennese Master potter, Franz Kukowetz at his Terra Nigra Studio in 1972.

Sandi initially studied Majolica while working as production potter at the Old Chelsea Pottery in London. Today she makes intentionally small batches of reduction-fired stoneware.  

Sandi is constantly testing new glazes and creating small batches of work with themes inspired by her environment. The soft coloured glazes are mostly ash-based. Native coastal vegetation, hinterland rainforest, apple and grapevine woods are all used. These are all burned separately to maintain the purity of the ash.

Being a student of Japanese ink-painting for many years means much of her ceramic work becomes a canvas for Sumi-e brushwork

All work is fired to 1280 degrees in a gas kiln.

Full-day Winter workshops are offered each May – August

I acknowledge that I live and make on unceded Boonwurrung land. I acknowledge the Bunurong people as the traditional custodians of this region and pay my respects to Bunurong elders past and present
