I spend my days working from a small home studio in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, creating unique handmade ceramics from high fired stoneware and porcelain. These quality clay bodies allow me to make beautiful pieces, durable enough to be used everyday.
The entire making process happens here on our little farm. I make each piece myself, use custom glazes and fire in a kiln powered by solar to reduce the need for fossil fuel in production. With my work I'm also very proud to be supporting Forget Me Not Australia by donating 10% of all sales revenue to this incredible charity. |
Did you know that although the number of orphanages across the developing world has grown dramatically in recent years, more than 80% of children in these orphanages are NOT orphans!
It breaks my heart that millions of children have been taken from their families, trafficked into orphanages and used to generate funds. It's a form of modern day slavery.
Sadly all the well-meaning people donating to these orphanages are unintentionally fuelling this global crisis. The more donations that flood into orphanages, the more of these institutions open and the more children are separated from their families to fill their beds.
Forget Me Not Australia brings awareness to this issue and raises the funds necessary to rescue these children and return them to their homelands and loving families.
