We curated Deep Blue Ceramics into our elopement. From the initial enquiry until the end product, Amy was supportive and suggested the best options for our wedding bonboniers. Since our wedding only included guests that we shared home cooked meals with, it was very fitting to commission Amy to make plates! The glaze used was perfect and the colour palette was spot on! Not only did we use the plates at our wedding reception, our guests took the plates home. When we visit our family and friend's place, they are using their Deep Blue Ceramic plates. Thank you Amy- for making our wedding so special and for meeting our brief!

Deep Blue Ceramics is more than a cup, plate or bowl. It is connection. It is care. It is craft.
In its humble Canberra studio, the maker behind these ceramic creations welcomes you in to understand the process. It is through seeing, feeling and smelling the clay that you get a real understanding behind the product. The glazes on Deep Blue Ceramics are beautiful and they are aesthetically pleasing. I could not be more happy to support a local maker. I buy all my ceramics from here and all my gifts too! The greatest thing is that each piece is unique, handmade and heartfelt. Thank you for your craft Deep Blue Ceramics!

Years ago, Amy decided to give Ceramics a try, just for something different. She fell in love with the ability to play with mud and create functional art.
With the life as a public servant working in an office behind her, as an established professional Ceramic artist she enjoys the creative lifestyle working at home from her recycled Shipping Container studio.
Sustainability
Keeping our impact on the environment as negligible as possible is very important to us at Deep Blue Ceramics. In everything we do, everything we use, we try to have a minimal impact as possible. We’ve recently been certified as #netzero! 🎉
Our studio itself is made from a retired shipping container. Our kilns are powered by the sun and we reduce, reuse and recycle as much of the studio consumables as possible, even including the water and clay!
When we mail we use a zero net carbon emissions courier within Australia using recycled or recyclable packaging materials.
