Blue Mountains

Ceramics & Clay

Katoomba Clay

Eight-week cumulative classes in the Blue Mountains town of Katoomba, structured to take beginners from first contact with clay to throwing functional pieces on the wheel. All levels are welcome. Sales run alongside the class programme.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Object Maker

Working from a Sydney CBD studio rather than a shopfront, Object Maker makes jewellery in 18ct gold and sterling silver across three distinct lines: nature-derived "Sticks and Stones" pieces set with Australian sapphires and diamonds, mythology-drawn "Vanity and Vice" work, and custom commissions. Wedding and engagement rings are designed in collaboration with clients on-site.

Ceramics & Clay

S.Mountain Ceramics

Sharron Mountain has spent 30 years as an educator and artist, and the Blue Mountains landscape shows in everything she makes — totem sculptures, gilded vessels, vases that read like compressed geology. What sets the studio apart is the clay itself: foraged from the surrounding terrain. Workshops run regularly; visiting potters, including Steve Williams and Lea Durie, bring their own techniques to the space.

Visual Art

Wild Valley Art Park

Off-grid by design: solar panels power the equivalent of eight households, rainwater feeds the taps, and a reed-bed system handles all waste. Classes and appointments only for now, though public access to the sculpture grounds is planned. The infrastructure is the argument — art made somewhere that takes its own footprint seriously.
