Hidden in a quiet North Carlton street is a charming ceramics studio. A long-time local artist and former pottery teacher, Valerie now creates her own beautiful, handmade pieces in a space filled with character and history.
The studio itself tells its own story. The worn benches are scattered with pastel sticks, ceramic vessels in progress, and well-used tools. The walls walls scribbled with glaze recipes and playful sketches left by past students. Valerie lives above the shop and has been part of the local arts community for years.
It was inspiring to see her working away quietly. After a good chat I asked if I could take a few shots of her workspace that she can share on Instagram. If you’re ever in North Carlton, I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing her work for yourself. It’s a hidden gem you’ll be glad you discovered.
