About

I am Georgina Burley. I am trained as an Industrial Designer, but pottery has stolen my heart. For as long as my memory goes back I have made things. Now professionally, I call myself a designer-maker.

It is my aim to help people to understand what’s involved in the ceramics making process. It’s a process full of creativity, skilfulness and touch, materials, patience and a prayer that the kiln will be kind.

My practice is about far more than just the finished object. The development of skill and knowledge as a craftswoman is the key to my freedom. I find joy in the feeling of clay passing through my hands, find satisfaction in trimming smooth ribbons of clay off the base of a vessel, and find thrill in opening the kiln to unveil my unique beauties. The dork in me finds stimulation from experimenting with glazes and different properties of clay. And my mind finds its creative climax by cultivating clay into considered, balanced, beautiful form.

I am hooked on 

Pottery
& Design

I love surrounding myself with creative people as well as teaching the next generation of artisanal minds and hands. A community connected by the growth and shared passion for design and craft is the place you’ll find me.

Claydreamers Pottery Studio

My mind is always designing. I have been producing my own pots under the gentle guidance of Linda De Toma, accomplished potter and studio owner of Claydreamers. 

I work at the studio once a week teaching pottery to children and adults. Feel free to contact Claydreamers if you're interested in taking pottery lessons. https://claydreamers.com.au/
