La Paloma Pottery

The Hill End workshop of potters Lino Alvarez and Kim Deacon, making earthenware by hand since 1984 — first in Newtown, where Mexican-born Alvarez built a name on big-pot commissions, and in this Central West gold-mining town since 1997. They throw ornamental urns, ovenware and tableware, and Alvarez made Australia's first tandoori ovens. Their restaurant ware sits under plates at Manfredi's Balla, Rick Stein's Bannisters and Frank Camorra's MoVida. Small throwing workshops run for those with basic skills, and the studio threads into Hill End's long painters' legacy through regular artist collaborations.
