At times this searching veers into printmaking, and sound as he looks for the right expression of an idea. With his formative years spent in visual arts, Scott’s disillusionment with the commercialisation of his creative energy pushed him to make the decision to pursue art full time, wishing to use his powers for good, working on art and projects personally driven, and for causes he believes in. The various mediums Scott uses in his artwork has guided his foray into professional work experience, such as screen printing wallpaper, as well as pursuing tertiary education and teaching ceramics and drawing at some of the world’s leading art schools with the sole intention of expanding his learning as a student to better produce artwork. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/collections\/fables-folklore\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/collections\/fables-folklore\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFables \u0026amp; Folklore  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNovember 14, 2024 - January 25, 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCurated by Simone Haag\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"xb3zw\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCraft is thrilled to invite internationally renowned Australian decorator Simone Haag as the guest curator of Craft’s final main gallery exhibition of 2024.

Steph's practice challenges established norms by combining traditional techniques with experimental approaches. Her sculptural work is created in a monochromatic palette of black clay with fine inlaid linework. Alongside clays dug directly from the landscape she decorates her forms with layers of slips, oxides and glazes. Through Steph's work she weaves narratives that reflect the complexities of cultural identity and the legacies of colonialism on the contemporary landscape.

At times this searching veers into printmaking, and sound as he looks for the right expression of an idea. With his formative years spent in visual arts, Scott’s disillusionment with the commercialisation of his creative energy pushed him to make the decision to pursue art full time, wishing to use his powers for good, working on art and projects personally driven, and for causes he believes in. The various mediums Scott uses in his artwork has guided his foray into professional work experience, such as screen printing wallpaper, as well as pursuing tertiary education and teaching ceramics and drawing at some of the world’s leading art schools with the sole intention of expanding his learning as a student to better produce artwork.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/b\u003es\u003cspan\u003etoneware, glaze\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 \u003cspan\u003e x 23 x 22cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott Elk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46819197419738,"sku":"C-SE006","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/5002\/files\/008_Craft_InTheMaking_Product_C_Armstrong_2025.jpg?v=1756338389"},{"product_id":"theodosius-ng-pedestal-ritual-vessel","title":"Theodosius Ng — 'Pedestal Ritual' Vessel in Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a sculptural vessel that encourages contemplation and intention, enriching your daily ritual.

She holds a design degree from Swinburne University and earned her Master of Fine Arts from RMIT in 2010. Her artistic practice is a profound exploration of visual art that includes installation, sculpture, digital illustration, painting, and ceramics. Rooted in storytelling, her work explores themes of childhood memories, identity, migration, and cultural hybridity. Puspasari captures a spectrum of emotions—from innocence and anxiety to loss and sorrow—reflecting the complexities of human experience. Drawing inspiration from the colourful pop culture of Asia and the bold forms of Western design, she examines how cultural influences shape self-perception and belonging.
