Slip cast vessels using that appear rough and irregular. “Each piece shows a rocky surface that reflects the times in which we live.” While other smooth forms reveal a different way of making showing curves like a large river stone being washed and gradually cleansed and shaped by the waters.

Christopher Plumridge studied ceramics in Bendigo in the late seventies. His work combines the hands on skills learned and developed over forty years from the traditions of the cultures of Japan, England, China and Australia where his ceramics teachers originated. His commercial work is extensive with functional pieces for restaurant and cafe use to sculptured forms with glazes that have been constantly reformulated over time.

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.
