Jake Carthew is an emerging ceramist from the South Coast of NSW, whose passion for the outdoors inspires his tactile and enchanting ceramic sculptures. Guided by a deep connection to nature and the satisfaction of hands-on creation, Jake captures a raw, unfiltered magic in his work.

"Crafting or creating something tangible always has a certain feel to it, I can’t quite put it into words. It’s that sense of accomplishment, a raw magic that only comes from using your bare hands. These sculptures are another extension of that rawness and another way to dive into that feeling," Jake shares.

Through his ceramics, Jake invites viewers to experience this sense of grounded beauty, and blending organic textures.
