Ivy & Jean has been brewing for some months now. We both love the act of making and can’t get enough of it. Both of us are trained artists and love sharing ideas, so one day over a coffee Ivy and Jean was born!

Ivy and Jean are names of close family member, love antiques...
What got you started crafting?
Ivy & Jean has been brewing for some months now, we both love the act of making and can’t get enough of it. Both of us are trained artists and love sharing ideas, so one day over a coffee Ivy and Jean was born!
What is your source of inspiration?
We adore the handmade & Old World aesthetic, and this is reflected in our designs. Borrowing from ancient Chinese ceramics techniques - we love beautiful, yet functional, objects!
What have you made recently?
Tea lights, tea lights and more tea lights... Each tea light is hand crafted from scratch using Australian Porcelain and is a rather laborious...
stage 1...construct tea light from fresh moist clay
stage 2...sand to perfection
stage 3...bisque firing
stage 4...decorate and glaze
stage 5...glaze firing
and...
Voila!!!
Where do you sell your crafts presently?
At present we sell our wears at artist Markets throughout Melbourne... Rose st Artist Market, Modish Creator, Finders Keepers and Substation Artist Market.
Why are handmade crafts important to you?
We love the organic look each of our pieces have rather than a mass produce item...each piece is therefore a one of a kind; an original in itself.
