KENNY YONG-SOO SON, from STUDIOKYSS is an object maker based in Sydney, Australia.
With background in metal craft and object design, the fundamental focus behind Son’s practice is to create work that resemblance a sense of longevity and hand-craftsmanship. The design aesthetics of Son’s work relate to the idea of reduction and simplicity with emphasis on modern and traditional craftsmanship in the physical work process.
Son is interested in producing work that has the ability to interact with the user and its surroundings, allowing a trigger of emotions of the user when in harmony with the object. Son firmly believes, for contemporary crafts and craftsmanship to excel, is reliant on current and future makers to translate their outputs in a habitual and ingenuous manner towards the public. Work that is perhaps ordinary, rather a work that is conceived to be extraordinary.

STEPHANIE PHILLIPS is a ceramic artist from Sydney, Australia. She draws strong influence in her artistic direction from both of her grandmothers. Her paternal grandmother was a Russian immigrant who was a talented artist and craftswoman, while her maternal grandmother was involved in the establishment of The Crommelin Native Arboretum at Pearl Beach, NSW, where Stephanie has spent many weekends and holidays since childhood.
At a young age, she developed an affinity with the Australian bush and the influence of the forms and colours of native flora are evident in her work. Drawing on her love of plants, she creates curved vessels to house modern Ikebana. Using a combination of clays, glazes and oxides she creates her own colours and textures.
Stephanie studied glass arts at Sydney College of the Arts, mosaics at Randwick Tafe and fabric design and printing at East Sydney Tech before finding her true calling in ceramics. She has studied at ceramics at Gymea Tafe and at Hazelhurst in Sydney.

Introducing 'pépite edits' - bespoke collections of contemporary objects, designed by pépite, artist-made and exclusively available at pépite.
For our very first collection, we collaborated with Melbourne-based artist Lucile Sciallano (of Alterfact and La Petite Fabrique de Brunswick) - together we brought to life an ode to the perfect ‘cone’. A simple form, yet so elegant and striking when all the angles and proportions are just right.
This first series focuses on the same form in three different sizes and two different finishes - ’Textured White’ and ‘Vanilla Bean’. Each vessel features its very own variations in form, glaze and texture with no two pieces ever the same. These vessels look beautiful displayed on their own but are also functional as they are watertight and food safe so they can become part of your home’s rituals.

KIRA EDWARDS is a contemporary jeweller, utilising traditional techniques to make organic sculptural pieces. Her work is an ode to the making process, embracing the imperfections and beauty that arise along the way. Exploring texture, sculpture and mixed metals, her work aims to capture a natural ease.
Wearability is at the heart of her work. With conscious consumerism in mind, her work is made to be worn often and travel through life with the wearer, with the hope the pieces will be passed down generations.
Kira’s practice focuses on sustainability, using recycled materials where possible and making small quantities. Her work is made with love and consideration from her home studio in Naarm / Melbourne alongside her tiny bossy dog Pepper.

RINA BERNABEI has been working in industrial design for the past 30 years. She has brought her love of earthy, clean aesthetics to clay. Her work encapsulates her years of practice as a product designer as well as the relationships between handmade craft practices and digital technologies and manufacture. In 2018 Rina completed a traditional throwing course in Kyoto with a master ceramicist and in 2020 was asked to set up the 3D digital ceramic studio at Kyushu University in Fukuoka. Working within the Architecture and Design Faculty she ran workshops with students and with local craftsmen and ceramic studios.

ALTERFACT is an experimental design studio created by Lucile Sciallano and Ben Landau in 2014. Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013, Lucile and Ben have worked in tandem on various projects in different mediums. Their collaboration has culminated in the creation of Alterfact Studio, a platform through which to conduct critical research with materials and data translated through the manufacture of ‘stuff’.
Alterfact’s practice is currently focused on the use of 3D printing in clay as a small batch manufacturing process. They push the boundaries of this traditionally plastic-based medium, and play with its connotations of utilitarianism and gimmickry, as it moves into a feasible reality.

DEBBEY WATSON is a Sydney based ceramic artist working predominantly with slab-built geometric forms that are informed by her background in graphic design and interest in modern architecture. Her pieces use a limited palette of three clays, one of which is sourced from her garden, and remain unglazed emphasising the simplicity of form. Connections thread one form to the next using delicate inlaid lines.
Debbey completed a Fine Arts degree majoring in Ceramics at the National Art School, Sydney in 2017 before undertaking a ceramic residency in Rome during 2018.
