Eco Printing
I have always been interested in plants, and their possibilities as medicine as well as their potential to dye fabric, so when I discovered that leaves could print on fabric I was fascinated. The last five years have been a journey of experimenting with various leaves and fabrics. I love that I am able to grow most of the plants I print with.

Maker of dreams in glass. Utilising cold glass and warm glass techniques including copper foiling, leadlighting, stained glass, kiln formed glass and flameworked glass.
As a self taught glass artist who gathers inspiration from the wildish place between sleep and waking, I attempt to create what comes to me with no idea how sometimes...just faith and gratitude that my hands and mind continue to assist me to create what is seen or felt. My artistic vision is the exploration of the fragility & diversity of life, one aspect being our natural environment & the other in the more human realms of healing from trauma.
My work is shipped carefully all over the world and is featured in Best of Worldwide Glass Artists Vol 1, International Contemporary Master Vol VII. My work is held in regional commercial galleries and collections both private & public including the Dax Collection in Melbourne, the world’s 3rd largest collection of work by those who have experienced trauma.

Kylie of Peakvue Studio creates handbuilt, functional and decorative ceramic wares that reflect simple country life.
Kylie's practice combines the traditional techniques of slab building, pinching and coiling to create beautiful ceramic wares. Hand building, as opposed to wheel throwing, really allows the 'hand of the maker' to shine through in each finished item. Every piece is slightly different. Highly influenced by her surrounds and rural community, Kylie's ceramics feature botanical prints, delicate patterns, textured carvings and simple phrases to remind us to slow down and take notice. She utilises gentle, neutral tones in stoneware clay and food safe glazes.
I have always been a maker. I've intuitively sought new creative interests since a young age. I'll readily have a go at anything to build new skills and satisfy my curiosity. I then reflect, edit, adapt and combine ideas to share my own voice.
