Meet Our Makers

All of our makers are members of the Craft Potters Association and each of them have a story to tell.

Daniel Chau

Daniel obtained a BA (Ceramics) from Royal Melbourne Information Technology University (co-presented with Hong Kong Art School) in 2007.

Daniel creates carefully sculpted porcelain vessels. The start of Daniel’s creative process begins with throwing. He is fascinated by the patterns and ongoing variations that emerge during this stage. The unique traces left on the forms evoke for him a sense of a path paved with the sedimentation of memory.

Kerry Hastings

With both of her parents being artists, Kerry’s childhood was surrounded by paintings, sculpture, and architecture. They had a potter friend and spent quiet hours in her studio. She went on to gain a BA Hons Ceramics at University of Westminster.

Kerry is inspired by the making process itself, using clay as a way of exploring her relationship to the world as a maker.  She seeks creative strategies analogous to those found in nature such as growth, metamorphosis, and fragmentation.
