Ted Secomb is a ceramic artist based in Naarm, Melbourne. Originally establishing a studio in Toowoomba, QLD, he moved to the Yarra Valley in 1989. Ted is known for his beautiful and graceful forms, with glazes, including crystalline, that are rich in colour, and delicate in Tetexture and patterning. Some of his glazing is reminiscent of ancient Chinese glazes. The colours in his garden are also an inspiration to him, and his glazes in autumnal colours are a direct response to the autumn season in Victoria.

Joseph Gardner is the 2025 Visionaries curator – presenting DONE/UNDONE: an exhibition of 50+ artists, and one of Craft’s largest exhibitions to date – featuring artists working across medium, scale and practice, representing exceptional Australian talent.
DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation – a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. It’s about that intuitive moment when a maker chooses to pause, to push further, or to dismantle entirely. These are the choices that define the rhythm of making – choices familiar to artists, designers, and creators across disciplines.
Joseph Gardner is the Style Editor at Vogue Living, with a decade of experience in publishing and styling, and the founder of Sydney-based gallery, Studio Gardner.
