About: Founded in Lorne in 2022, Blackhirst Handmade is a small creative practice dedicated to the art of the slow-made object and continual learning with different creative projects.

Currently moving between jewellery and hand formed ceramics, my work is tied together with a love for blues, coastal textures and refined, minimalist forms.

Il Vetro Jewellery
My first real passion project. Each piece is crafted using recycled 14-carat gold-filled metal and 925 sterling silver, paired with recycled glass. From Bombay Sapphire gin bottles to sea-glass, these materials are kiln-fired and sculpted into one-of-a-kind designs that carry a previous life within them.

Ceramics
After years of practicing pottery as a personal creative outlet, I am finally dedicating the time to share my work in clay. My focus is on transforming everyday pieces into beautiful, tactile objects.

This journey also brings my two passions together: tying jewellery making into ceramics through the creation of porcelain earrings.

Every object is made by hand in my home workspace.
