A concept first conceived at the potter's wheel by artist and designer Anna-Marie Wallace. While learning how to throw with her first mentor, master potter Ray Outteridge, she realised that the object she was creating was literally a piece of Australia. Formed from Australian earth and then fired with native flora and waste from indigenous fauna.
Everything from the Australian clays to the foraged indigenous flora & waste from native fauna used in the firing of her ceramic art is derived directly from the unique Australian landscape.
Most ingredients are foraged throughout our local areas of Southern Queensland & Northern New South Wales.
Using their signature Saggar Firing process to harness the elements of Earth, Water, Air & Fire, a unique colour, pattern & texture is created, giving Made Of Australia its unique finish of pure Alchemy.
The works undergo a final stage of not the usual glaze but a unique seal of Liquid Quartz, a water-based coating employing revolutionary technology to ensure food safety & stain resistance.
This finish allows Made Of Australia's work to not only remain raw and natural but also functional and safe for everyday use.
