Meet the Maker

Alice Morgan is happiest, sitting in her sunny and delightfully warm studio, quietly working with her favourite medium, the humble ball of clay.

It doesn't stay that way for long, by the time Alice has finished with it, that humble ball of clay will be turned into something beautiful to be treasured by the lucky owner.

Ever since she can remember, Alice has always dabbled in creative pursuits of one kind or other from sewing, basket weaving, gardening, pottery. So trying her hand at ceramics is probably not all that surprising.

I love the slow process of it all and then the anticipation of what you're going to find when you finally open the kiln.

"I’ve always been drawn to handmade ceramics at markets, galleries and op shops. I decided about 7 years ago to have a go at it myself by going along to classes in Geelong. I fell in love with it straight away, I love the slow process of it all and then the anticipation of what you’re going to see when you finally open the kiln".

In fact, Alice was a florist for many years so it's easy to see she has creative flair in whatever she puts her hand to. This may give us a clue as to why vases are a favourite, and the pieces she loves to make most of all.

"It’s nice being able to give someone a plant or flowers in a handmade pot or vase".

When asked about her all-time favourite piece, Alice recalls her very first creation, a small pinch pot, which sits quietly on the shelf above, almost as a reminder of her beginnings in the craft. Even now, that is still how many of her beautiful pieces start out.

When she's not creating her beautiful ceramic pieces in her Barwon Heads home studio, the beautiful garden she has created is the place you will most likely find her.

Alice currently stocks her wares at Lon Retreat in Pt Lonsdale Victoria Australia. And of course online right here ;)
