We are Dawn Smith and Cynthia Tippler and began Studio Australia in 1990 in Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, New South Wales. We are great friends, mother and daughter, and passionate about our ceramic craft. Our family has been in the ceramic industry for over 50 years we love designing and then creating Australiana inspired ceramic art.
Some of the ranges are as retro as 3 Flying Ducks like Nanna had on the wall and others are quite flamboyantly funky and modern. One very unique piece is our Cockatoo Table Lamp.
All our pieces are hand slip cast earthenware clay, hand-painted and glazed. All pieces are fired in an electric kiln twice. Importantly every piece is signed and stamped with Studio Australia’s familiar branding.
Our bespoke lamp-shades are made to complement the table lamps. We source our fabrics from all over the world, chosen for the unique colours and patterns, each shade is made to order.
