N°001 Ewer x Lucy Zaroyko
A special edition of hand-painted Ewers created in collaboration with artist & designer Lucy Zaroyko
We invited Zaroyko to treat the surface of our signature jugs with layer upon layer of creamy & colourful slip—swishing, swirling, spraying and sgraffito scratching the surface to create something both layered and gestural.
Having spent a few years working in and around ceramic studios earlier in her artistic career, Zaroyko skilfully translated her painterly manner from canvas to clay. No small feat considering the colour and opacity of porcelain is wholly transformed during the firing process—lilac becoming royal blue, light grey tuning to deep brown...

(Lucy Zaroyko) is an artist and designer living and working on Arakwal Land (Bryon Bay, Australia). Her multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture and textiles, including the experimental fashion project Zaroyko.
Each softedge piece is hand-crafted from Australian clay in our Northern NSW studio. Irregularities in colour, glaze and surface are a result of the inevitable human touch received during the making process and should be embraced.
Porcelain and stoneware can withstand high temperatures; however, sudden temperature changes are likely to cause thermal shock, which will damage and crack ceramics over time. Always place very hot items onto wood, cork or cloth, and let them cool naturally.
Due to the irregular forms of our designs, we recommend hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or non-abrasive utensil to avoid scratching—this will prolong the life of our pieces and maintain glaze integrity as the years roll by.

Process & Precedents
Each piece in the softedge collection is moulded off an original shape hand-formed by designer and founder Layla Cluer. Our small studio team uses slip-casting methods to carefully translate each sculptural form into functional ceramic ware from our space in Bundjalung County (Byron Bay, Australia).
