HugBellCeramics
Working with clay has been closely associated with me at almost every major stage of my life.
I have played with clay, since I was a child. My techniques were developed from learning under a traditional Japanese ceramics master for five years. My style has evolved and has been affected by living in different countries and encountering different cultures. Every new confrontation, every new challenge in my life have thus been translated through my medium of clay.
My intention is to attract people to touch (not only look) and interact with my work, and in return I want my ceramics to connect people together. I hope my art can, even for a slight moment, inspire feelings of delight in people.
SJ Illustrates
I illustrate a mixture of Melbourne based buildings, or sweet things that take my fancy (mushrooms and country scenes at the moment).
Lately, I've been creating greeting card designs and bookmarks, mostly because I'm from NZ so I receive a lot of beautiful hand written cards and paper crafts from my family and it inspired me to offer something someone could send to someone.
Greeting cards hold a special place in my heart, and I hope that my illustrations on them brighten the receivers day!

Aoracreo
Aoracreo is a creative initiative that responds to the current situation of mass production and pollution from soft plastics, generated by local businesses in their daily activities.
Cesar Marulanda started this project back in 2011 when he was looking to be self sustainable whilst producing and making products that do not demand for new raw materials. He created a method of fusing disused plastics to create a recyclable, customisable and waterproof material for us is his highly functional bag designs.
Check them out, order a custom bag or chat about sustainability with Cesar at the market each weekend!
