Teapot // Part 2: The Finished Work
All finished, this little Teapot was lots of fun (if not a little nerve-wracking) to photograph. I particularly love his cheekiness and character!

Why I've always wanted to make a teapot
Most furniture designers I’ve met seem to have one particular career dream in common. They want to design one good chair. As a silversmith, my dream has always been to make a teapot.

My new series of work Slowly Slowly Pouring Pots has been selected for STEEL: art design architecture, a ground-breaking steel exhibition showcasing renowned Australia artists, designers and architects.

Lost in Thought
Lost in thought is a glimpse into Alison’s making process, where the initial spark of an idea is free to change as the object develops, giving each a unique personality and together they form an eclectic bunch.

Object Therapy
The creativity and inventiveness of kids is magic, and is something we could all do with a little more of. With a hint of guilt in his answer, I came to realise Oscar's folding ruler didn't break whilst being used as ruler. This sparked my idea...
Behind the scenes
We had the best time working with a talented bunch of local creatives for the photoshoot of our Signature Collection re-launch!
Signature Collection
It is rare to find the time and space to sit down, take in and contemplate the work you've made years earlier.
The re-launch of the Signature Collection was all about just that.

The Joy of Making
With a renewed energy to make objects, the opportunity to create new work for an exhibition all about vessels came at the perfect time.
Makers' Mark
I think of a makers’ mark as quite a personal thing, after all it is what lets others identify that piece as yours for years to come. Often they become quite iconic and instantly recognisable.
Fix & Make | Oyster Shucker
I was asked by the creative folk at Hotel Hotel to be a part of their new Fix and Make program.
Fixing and making? That’s me! I jumped at the chance to run a workshop with them.
