ABOUT THE ARTIST

In 2013 Alison co-founded an independent group studio in Croydon, South Australia, with fellow ceramic artists, Sophia Phillips and Stephanie James Manttan. During the four years that the studio was in operation, she produced work for wholesale and numerous exhibitions and collectively, the trio completed numerous council-funded community projects, working with local schools and local residential groups in community activation projects.
