MEGA FAUNA STUDIOS are a family of potters, living and working together on Garigal land on Sydney’s northern beaches. Our work is an ongoing series of wheel-thrown and hand-built vessels. The pots have a classical form with a naïve, rebellious, contemporary folk-art twist. Our works are both celebratory and functional, inviting the viewer to touch, admire and use them as part of everyday life. Megafauna Studio plays with the tension that comes from challenging the established classical ceramic shapes and disrupting their beauty by decorating them with raw and vibrant imagery. The process of layering hand painted slips, glazes and sgraffito leaves each peice highly textured and boldly decorated.
