Elizabeth Bell Ceramics: Open Studio

Step inside Elizabeth Bell Ceramics, an award-winning pottery studio, classroom and gallery nestled within the historic Fyansford Paper Mills overlooking the Barwon River.

Discover the story behind Elizabeth’s journey from a first pottery class in Japan to creating a thriving Geelong ceramics practice rooted in design, making, community and place.

Meet the makers, explore the working studio and see how wheel-thrown stoneware is shaped, glazed and finished by hand. From favourite mugs and generous serving bowls to oil bottles, vases and one-off pieces, each ceramic is made slowly and finished by hand in the Fyansford studio.

The work is rustic yet refined, with an emphasis on beautiful forms, tactile surfaces and pieces made to be used, loved and lived with. Learn how sustainability, locally sourced materials and traditional making processes inform the practice.

The studio is also home to a lively pottery school, offering intimate classes and workshops for complete beginners through to experienced makers.

Part working studio, part classroom, part gallery, Elizabeth Bell Ceramics is a place to slow down, make something with your hands and take a little piece of Geelong home with you.
