The bold graphics, patterns, and textured ceramic pieces of Bellbrae Clay are the result of founder, Lauren Barton's creative experiments. Her hand-built and painted collection feature wave and sun motifs, bold stripes, and seaside themes, making them perfect for outdoor lunches and entertaining. These designs embody a vibrant and relaxed coastal lifestyle.

The palette for Lauren's latest collection includes coral orange, deep sea blue, sandy white, olive green, lemon yellow, burnt red, sky blue, and soft pink, further evoking the essence of Australian life. Lauren's vision for her coastal ceramic brand is to transport users to their local beach or exotic seaside destinations. Her creations capture the feeling of chasing the sun to places where the sand is hot, the salt lingers in your hair, and the water swirls around the rocks.

Lauren’s objects blur the lines between decorative art and functional ware. "Today, luxury is about uniqueness and craftsmanship," she says. Founded in 2021, all pieces are hand-built by Lauren in her Surf Coast Studio on the iconic Great Ocean Road, between Torquay and Anglesea. The studio is open to the public for shopping, workshops, and events, fostering a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate art and craftsmanship.
