Hi, I’m Courtney!

🌴 Based in Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia
🪴 Sculpting, slipcasting, and creating pottery has been my way of healing and finding joy as I recover from PTSD my job.

Let’s connect, share, and celebrate the art of creating!

Kind of obsessed with the way this turned out 😍 2x Micro Cerulean over 2x Black Engobe on white stoneware, fired to cone 6.

The Crocodile Mug fresh out of firing!

The glaze crazed 🙁 This is a gift for a friend of mine, he is not fussed about it and is very happy with the outcome …and aware it’s for decorative use only.

I kinda love it though, right?

In light of -that- wombat video that had us all fuming, I needed to channel some positive energy so I underglazed The Wombat Mug!

This sweet travel mug was modelled around a very prominent architectural design in my area called the Queenslander. More to come in many more colours/styles I think!

The journey of the Green Tree Python mug started nearly a year ago, and what a ride it's been. Many setbacks but here we are! Follow along to see how it turns out!

They say practice makes progress, so l'm back at the wheel throwing some mugs! I love this shape, feels kinda masculine right?

I poured my biggest mould yet and I’m so happy with how it turned out! This cute basket is destined to be a flower planter, and I’m thrilled it made it safely out of the mould.

A little bit of my work that I’m very proud of! Australian Animals were my muses for this selection of my (much larger) travel mug collection! 🥰
