Karst Ceramics Studio

Karen is a ceramic artist living in Torquay. Karen works out of Karst Ceramics Studio and creates functional and sculptural wares inspired by the colours and flow of the Surf Coast and the textures and shapes of the Victorian Alpine region.

Tony is primarily a wood turning artist focusing on sculptural pieces but also turn useable pieces. He use mostly Australian timbers from sustainable sources. The pieces he make don't fall into any specific group but rather let the timber decide on what direction the piece will take. He has recently been working on some ceramic pieces which are Obvara or Raku fired. He enjoy the randomness and individuality this finish creates.

With a love for drawing and form, Helen creates playful narratives and curious imaginings. She also drifts into more abstract languages of mark making, tracing gestures that echo the rhythms of place and environment. Helen has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions and continues to grow her passion for how individuals and community can be nurtured though small creative acts.
