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.

ANNA PARSONS is a ceramicist, working intuitively, finding clay as a receptive medium to express herself. Anna often incorporates additions such as volcanic rock from the bush around where she lives. Anna's practice took many years of experimentation of temperature and clay body to get these results - she fires her work numerous times, sometimes up to 5 firings to get the desired effects. Anna majored in sculpture at  BA Sydney College of the Arts and now lives in Rosebank, NSW.

Clay receives me

Weaving instinctively

Bouncing Off

My inner psychology

Materiality, chemistry, bodily

I cast shadows

EB. CERAMICS is the Mornington Peninsula based ceramic practice of Eb Vick. Her surroundings of coastline and bushland greatly influence her work where she often uses found earth materials, wood ash, oxides and slips to create custom glazes on high fired stoneware.

eb’s making technique is inspired by truths and stories, deliberately showing her maker’s mark to embrace simple and organic imperfections of materiality.

JENNIFER OH was born in the Philippines, grew up in Australia, lived in London and Rome and has recently moved back to Sydney.

Her ceramic work is informed by the multiplicity of her travels. They are in many ways investigations into form and function and how our everyday objects can transform into talismans for modern life. Her work is rooted in the traditional aspects of the craft in technique and construction; although she finds that it's the interaction between human and object that cultivates meaning and it's this personal reaction to objects that is the core interest of her work.

YURO CUCHOR is a South Australia based artist who is originally from Slovakia. Yuro studied Ceramics and Stone Restoration in Slovakia and later graduated from University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Visual Arts. Yuro's contemporary ceramics are created using handbuilding and slipcasting techniques - at the heart of Yuro's practice is a keen interested in experimenting with a lot of different materials, often mixing them together. Alongside his functional pieces like his signature jugs, Yuro also creates sculptural works that are often based on simple geometric shapes which are then put together in various ways, enabling endless possibilities.

JANE BURN is a ceramic artist living and working on Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

Jane was introduced to ceramics while resident in a one year Mombusho Scholarship at Miyadai University, Kyushu, Japan. Jane has completed a Diploma in Ceramics and has her work represented in Galleries and private collections. Jane’s hand built vessels take time to build, the process is slow, each crafted form unique.

She uses handbuilding and coiling techniques, the slow making allows for the development of shape inspired by classic forms. The relationship between the material and the maker is Jane’s focus seeking to record the notion of time and artist's hand in her work creating a ‘living vessel’.

MALI TAYLOR is a Melbourne based ceramic artist currently exploring the parameters of coil methodology within her practice. Born in the Northern Rivers of NSW, Mali spent her childhood immersed in the beauties of the Australian landscape, which has undoubtedly influenced her practice.

Mali completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts specialising in object based practice and has since won and been a finalist in multiple awards.

Through the methodical and meditative layering of earthy clay, Mali’s hand-built sculptures hold time, invoking memories of archaic Australian landscapes.

IRENE GRISHIN-SELZER holds a MFA by research from Monash University, graduating with the Clayworks Australia Award for ceramic excellence. Her practice engages with the notion of transience- the shape of time and a sense of place.
Works have been curated into exhibitions selected within Australia and North America, with solo shows in Melbourne galleries and regionally at the Shepparton Art Museum (S.A.M). Internationally collected and profiled in numerous publications, the latest being an artist profile in NGV magazine alongside two international art and design compendiums published by Thames & Hudson, with a third featuring 50 contemporary Australian artists released in 2023.

Mixing soil from her studio locations with clay, porcelain pigments, and glazes, her highly textured work becomes a literal and powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of nature where all things both animate and inanimate, past and present are intrinsically linked.

STUDIO MULDERS is a Perth based creative project of Annemieke who worked across the world as a scientist before becoming a ceramic artist in 2014. Her work explores the intersection of order, chaos, function, asymmetry and beauty.

She uses discarded vessels that are changed by cutting, rearranging or breaking part of its surface. This process of destruction and building up creates a form that is simultaneously fragile, robust, complex and simple. This inherent contrariness demands questioning and defies simple categorisation.
