ABOUT THE MAKER
Leah “lulu” Smith is the founder, designer, and ceramicist behind the brand lulu + smith. Her background in Interior Design has influenced the way she designs, makes and decorates each piece. She strives to design and create objects that are simple and minimal in form with a playful, contemporary twist.
Leah and her family live in Avalon Beach on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, surrounded by an abundance of inspiration.
ABOUT THE PROCESS
All pieces are designed and made at our studio in Avalon Beach.
A variety of techniques including slip casting and hand and slab building are used to achieve desired forms. Clay bodies are chosen based on colour and texture and may vary between batches and collections. Each vessel is unique and may differ slightly in size, shape and glaze colour, and may have marks left by the making process. These contribute to the beauty of each unique piece and are not considered imperfections or flaws. Our pieces inspired by long salty days at the beach, soaking up sunshine and gathering seashells.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land we live on today. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.
