Claybia — 'Lifestyle Platter - Ciggies' Sculptural Ceramic, 2026

The concept of domestic spaces has been a central theme in the work of Claybia Ceramics and the Hotham Street Ladies. For Visionaries, Claybia have created two Wellness Platters, reflecting their deep interest in self optimisation, cleansing and personal growth, within the context of domestic identity. 

Both platters reflect ongoing themes in Claybia’s work:
ButtPile harks back to a simpler, easier time when enormous, overflowing ashtrays were still celebrated as garden features. Chip mountain speaks to their fascination with, and passion for, hot chips.

Claybia is a ceramic collaboration between Cassandra Chilton and Molly O’Shaughnessy, both members of the Hotham Street Ladies art collective. Their practice is centered around non traditional sculpture, exploring the darker sides of art and life, humour, feminism, the everyday, the misshapen, the peculiar, and drawing on our shared sinister ceramic history. The Claybia Ceramics motto is ‘Dark Ceramics
for Dark Times’.
