Catherine Field is the maker behind the Splendid Wren Ceramics range of handmade homewares from Bondi Beach, Australia which focuses on functional simplicity. Her pieces are made using traditional hand building techniques from a range of stoneware clays. They are then high fired to stoneware temperatures to ensure their durability. No two pieces are the same. They feature natural, earthy glazes and often there will be a finger print or makers mark to remind users that it was made by hand.
Her work is available at: The Australian Design Centre, Commune Bondi, The DEA Store (East), Orchard Street, Michael Reid Clay, We Are Mindful, Paperbark Camp and on her website.
Ceramics workshops are the ideal activity for a group to participate in, perfect for bonding, team building or celebration where each participant will create their own piece/s which will be glazed and fired and available for collection approximately 4 weeks after the workshop.
