Coral Covey Jewellery
Coral Covey was founded and established in 2014 in Munich by Australian jewellery designer Laura Deakin.
In November 2017, after living and working in Munich for over 13 years, Laura re-located back to her hometown of Melbourne.
The name, Coral Covey, is the unity of Laura’s two grandmothers, Coral McKissick and Gladys Covey, who were both important influences in the designer’s life, and taught her the importance of caring for her community and environment.
Coral Covey is a business committed to sustainable jewellery practices. It is Laura’s goal to continue making a positive environmental difference within her field of bespoke art.
Celestial Closet
Celestial Closet creates magical wearables from laser cut acrylic – inspired by fantasy, nature and adventure. Make everyday feel a little bit more magical with wearable art pieces by Celestial Closet.
Owner and magic maker Christine has a background in digital design and theatrical costume, and runs Celestial Closet part-time, working full time as an IT professional. She has a selection of wearables available in-person at the in.cube8r gallery in Fitzroy, and can sometimes be found at Fitzroy’s Rose Street Artists’ Market, and Oz Comic-Con Melbourne.
Christine loves the process of designing objects for laser cutting as it is a perfect blend of art and technology. All Celestial Closet pieces are designed, laser cut, hand painted and produced in-house, with the help of her laser cutter, Zaphod Beamobox.
In March 2021, the “Metamorphia Recycled” range was launched – utilising the acrylic offcuts and scraps from the Celestial Closet wearables, and from other jewellery makers to create unique, colourful heat pressed, recycled material sheets.

Sticky Earth Ceramics
Rafal is the Melbourne potter behind Sticky Earth Ceramics.
Originally hailing from Krakow, Poland, Rafal now works from a studio in Melbourne’s west.
His pottery features earthy tones of natural clay and a minimalist aesthetic. Glazes are applied with a light touch to allow the natural textures of clay to come through.
By bringing out the warmth and rawness of natural stoneware clay, Rafal gives each and every piece its own authentic character.
Snakebird Designs
The pieces here are largely functional- to me there is something very special about a handmade object making its way into your daily routine. Interacting with handmade ceramics offers me a moment of mindfulness (I'm sorry, ignore the buzzword) and gives me a reason to stop scrolling through rubbish on my phone and instead enjoy the tactility of the clay- imagining the hard work that was put into it's existence, enjoying the imperfections, and picturing it's journey from a blob of dirt to vitrifying for hours in a kiln chamber at 1280 degrees celcius. It's pretty neat! I hope you get that same excitement from my work. I mean, it beats the shit out of IKEA...
I prefer to use modest glazes that show off the texture and natural properties of the clay, and my real joy comes from making things the way I like them, when I can't already find them out in the world.
I use both my noisy, secondhand potters wheel and handbuilding techniques (mainly slab building and pinching) to achieve different effects. I'm constantly searching for new, more efficient methods and striving for clean, simple design.
All of the items sold through Snakebird Designs are slowly and lovingly handmade in my sharehouse shed/studio in Yarraville, in Melbourne/Naarm, Australia.
