DANICA WICHTERMANN isspecialises in wheel thrown porcelain vessels and homewares inspired by Australian native flora and fauna, often using impressions from nature to create textures as part of her designs. The finished, glazed and fired pieces are works of art created to be functional, durable, and safe for use.

PAIGE BENTLEY is an assistant at Danica’s studio as well as a hobbyist ceramicist whose practice explores strange and whimsical imagery given authority by the ceramic form. From hypothetical fish to BMX erotica, unusual arrangements of even more unusual illustrations allow for unexpected meanings to arise as you turn, drink from, admire or smash their curious objects. When not making a mess with clay, their work involves sculptural installation, digital media, and experimental archival techniques.
