Black Thread
BLACK THREAD has developed from a dot of an idea a little while ago. The desire to design and develop with a fresh approach, locally produced home wares & furnishings to cherish for your own environment.
My career and experiences all tie together, an initiative to create and the aspiration to source regionally as possible, producing quality furnishings and personal items that I can be proud of.
An Interior Design background which lead to working for a Commercial Textile company, has introduced me to wonderful woven textiles, colours & talented people. Working with passionate colleagues has evolved my ethos regarding environmental concerns and support of local business. I want to achieve outcomes that we can share pride in provenance. The home wares we live with, should not only give sensory and visual pleasure but be deeply satisfying in the knowledge it comes with credibility.
The name BLACK THREAD is created from ideas which define me. My personal love of black clothing - much to my friend’s ongoing despair! Combine this with my fascination with woven textiles from beautiful natural threads and yarns, particularly wool. Thread this together and you have Black Thread!
I trust that you enjoy the items I offer and the journey I am undertaking.
Andryar Candles
Andrea Arena, latinoamerican dentist by profession and visual artist by passion. What started as a hobby and as a stress reliever in 2015 while doing a tough process to become a dentist in Australia, turned into a passion that I did not want to give up after getting my dental career back.
Andryar candles are made with natural soy wax, hand poured in small batches using ecofriendly and ethically resourced materials. Made with love in Melbourne, these candles burn with a strong fragrance release right to the end.

CassarClay
I am a studio based artist living in Melbourne Australia.
Clay is my medium. It is the sensuous quality of raw clay from the earth that inspires me as I work to mould it into a form that is organic tactile yet functional.
I create wheel-thrown ceramic dinnerware and decorative pieces for home décor. I take a minimalist approach to my work, using different clay mixtures and studio developed glaze combinations. This allows me to focus on the natural textures and tactile beauty of the clay, giving each piece its one-of-a-kind character. Each body of work is designed to be used every day within the home.
I am an inveterate traveller. I grew up on the island of Malta, in the Mediterranean. I moved to Australia as a young adult and fell in love with the rugged beauty of the Australian bush and the multicultural character of the city of Melbourne. For the last decade, I’ve travelled between Australia, Europe and the USA, and I worked in different potters’ studios and attended workshops and residences run by expert potters. I love visiting archaeological museums in order to learn from the artisans of antiquity. Travel continues to provide the best opportunity for reflection and gaining alternate perspectives on my work.
