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!

My travel mugs inspired by our iconic homes here in Queensland, Australia! The Queenslander Mug in Forest Green!

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

This guy turned out so stinking cute out of the glaze firing! 😍 Those colours really came through. 🧡

Thank you so much Alan 😊

Well, that’s the general consensus. But I do see people keeping them and using them for themselves with a good clean after each use. I couldn’t sell it as a food safe item. So it’s gone to its new home as a decorative item :)

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!
