Leversha Design
Each piece is hand formed to create unique naturally organic forms, which are then painted by hand. Loving to explore the old techniques of the past in ceramics, then adding my unique designs. All things old are new again. My hand painted and drawing are created one by one and are inspired by my love of nature and animals.

Flashes of gold punctuate her incredible works and complement her beautifully drawn flowers, musical instruments and aerial landscape drawings
Coastal Tide Clocks
My recycled tide clocks track local tide times. Great as gifts for beach walkers, to keep your shoes dry; the surfer in your family, so he knows when low tide is going to be; and the fisher folk who catch the most fish on the turn of the tide ... or just for fun. Using CDs/DVDs destined for landfill, each clock features images that are either my photos or paintings. One less item for landfill and a clean ocean inspire me to create and educate on the wonders of our ocean's timing and patterns.
Angela Nicholson Studio
I am a ceramic artist and multidisciplinary designer. My love of hand-building ceramic functional ware combines these disciplines to make pieces that represent both form and function. Living on this extraordinary coastline, I am continuously inspired by and grateful for the natural world around me. Through this engagement, I shape earth and add fire, intentionally creating pieces to share, serve and appreciate.
Andrew Allen Ceramics
Our studio is located in Lorne on Victoria’s iconic Surf Coast and Great Ocean Road. The shapes and surfaces of the pots are inspired by the rugged cliffs and coastline, the rock pools, the shifting moods of the ocean and sky, and the dance of the waves and tides on the pristine sandy beaches.
Just as every moment on the coast is unique, so is every piece we create at the studio; from the gentle flow of the glaze, the soft mark of the tools, or a subtle fingerprint, each pot tells the story of its making and the place it was created. The majority of our pieces are wheel thrown and gas fired stoneware.

Diane Braiden Art
Located along Victoria’s stunning Surf Coast, my art celebrates the ocean’s rhythms and the quiet beauty of nature’s impermanence. Each piece begins with a mindful walk along local beaches, where I forage seaweed for its unique form and color, embracing the gifts of the sea. The work, from pressed seaweed pieces and decorative vases to kaleidoscope designs and original cards, reflects the intricate textures of marine life, preserved to capture the ocean’s timeless artistry. Each creation is a blend of art and nature, inviting you to experience the coast’s delicate beauty.
Angels By The Sea
