Situated in the beautiful surrounds of Albert Park, Potier is the first Melbourne retail store showcasing the work of Australia’s top ceramic artists and a must-see for those seeking handmade objects for the home or gifts.
From individually crafted domestic ware to exquisite one-off sculptural pieces, Potier provides the perfect space to experience and buy beautiful and important works of local and national significance.
Potier was created to promote the importance of ceramic practice and develop a broader understanding of, and desire to acquire, handmade one-off pieces for everyday use and as collectors' items.
Free from the constraints of the production line, each piece is an individual work of art with a unique history and provenance. Sharing this story with the customer and promoting ceramic practice lies at the heart of Potier’s ethos.
The store is a culmination of a long-term desire by owner and founder Judith Buckeridge to provide a space that would give ceramic artists the recognition they deserve. Potier provides an environment that rewards the incredible level of professionalism and commitment made by these artisans, as well as an avenue to sell their works directly to the public.
By visiting Potier, you too can support the exceptional and largely unknown work of Australia’s top ceramic artists.
