DINAH'S BEACH SHACK
Life in Torquay inspires me to create casually elegant ceramics with a coastal vibe. I try to capture an organic, natural beauty, not rooted in perfection. It has taken me a long time to find my way back to working with my hands, and shaping the earth under our feet. Creating tangible, functional pieces to be used and loved, has literally grounded me mentally and physically. I hope my ceramics connect others to place and moment too.
