Amazing Glaze! Let’s face it, we all want to get the best results when we invest time and energy into any artwork or creative venture. The truth is with ceramics,
Naturemuse Ceramics is a privately owned, ecologically sustainable studio nestled into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, offering you beautiful functional handmade ceramics, collectors pieces and inspiring artists led workshops.
In our much-loved studio, time stands still as you are free to re-explore the natural world around you, get your hands dirty and redefine the way you think about life on the daily.
Nurture and nourish are our principles, as we share our passion for the earth, supportive community and the wholesome food that is available to us on here on the Sunshine Coast. Allowing you the time and space to build reverence for the here and now.
As you take your own journey with creativity there are truly no mistakes, just things to take notice of as you sit back and play, learn new skills and immerse your hands in clay. We hold space for you while you let go of your daily demands and drop into the present moment.
At Naturemuse Ceramics we are passionate about helping you celebrate life through clay, mindfulness and creative self expression. You will be amazed at how much better resourced you feel to deal with the daily demands of busy life when you engage in a creative practice.
And by way of donations, we support our local Headspace Centre to continue to offer support to young people in our community. Visit our online store to explore our Nurture Yourself Collection.
Fiona Cuthbert O’Meara is a contemporary ceramicist and sculptor. Her unique practice is a fusion of the hand built and the wheel thrown, the functional and the sculptural as she explores her love of the organic. Believing in the innate power of story-telling and the healing power of being present with nature, and the positive effect it has on our emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, Fiona’s exhibition works and collector’s pieces always embody a deeply personal narrative.
Current creative works consist of surrealist figurative sculpture, organic ceramic vessels and found object installations. Each artwork has been intuitively crafted while exploring an authentic response to the complexity of human relationships and often the naturalistic processes of the earth itself.
Fiona exhibits her work in galleries and spaces throughout the Sunshine Coast. Her latest collection from the recent exhibition CULTIVATE explores the natural environment and its precious resources, as she delves deeply into what it is to be human at this very complex time on earth. Our relationships really do begin with ourselves and the way we respond to the earth beneath our feet.
A deep reverence for life drawn from the natural world highlights the source of inner peace and calm which can arise from the practice of loving self-reflection.
Now teaching from her private studio on the Sunshine Coast, Fiona Cuthbert O’Meara stretches her practice across many ceramic disciplines including wheel throwing, hand building, sculpture, and glaze formulation. She has just built an Anagama kiln on the land at her Doonan studio.
Fiona delivers regular workshops with a focus on authentic artistic expression for a range of skill levels, specialising in mindfulness practices and a connection to the earth. Suitable for beginners, you will be surprised how working with soft, malleable clay effects your overall feeling of well-being, self-esteem and resilience, as you try your hand at a whole new skill set.
