Drawing inspiration from uniquely beautiful Australian landscapes and designed to be used every day, Eucalypt Homewares creates decorative and functional handmade ceramics. I like the idea of people using my work every day, that it becomes a part of their lives, their families, their histories. I feel success comes from the functional and the everyday.
Life is too fleeting not to use beautiful things. Australian ceramic artist, Melanie Sharpham is inspired by Australia's natural landscapes and the urban environments of our cities. Eucalypts are majestic in their coats of dusty green and brown with offerings of exquisite and intricate flowers. The flowers, often unnoticed high in the tree canopy, remind us to seek quiet beauty in life.

Inspired by seed pods, textures, colours and forms from Australian Eucalyptus trees, this collect is exquisite in undertones of dusty greys, muted pastels and soft white. Each piece, slip cast from hand tinted porcelain, is lovingly made in the Eucalypt Studio, right here in Australia. This range of tableware is designed to mix and match with each other within the range of Neural Eucalypt colours.
All the Eucalypt Homewares classes are designed for people who have limited or no clay experience, so if you have always wanted to have a go at creating with your hands, or would love to spend a few hours focused and forgetting the world, then these classes are perfect for you. Each workshop is based around a specific theme or project.
Working with clay is extremely rewarding. Clay is an open-ended natural resource, perfect for artistic exploration for the young, not so young and everyone in between. One of my favourite things is to watch how people connect with and enjoy the tactile and responsive nature of clay.

As a first-timer working with ceramics, the class was an excellent starting point and I appreciated the advice and encouragement. Mel is a great teacher who is patient, lets you work at your own pace, and is happy for you to just learn. The small group setting is very good as it is less overwhelming and you get to have a chat with the other people in the class. I would strongly recommend the class.
