Collingwood: The Ceramic Heart
A curated guide to Melbourne’s premier pottery precinct.
The Heritage
Why Collingwood?
Nestled in the gritty, industrial corridors of Melbourne's inner north, Collingwood has transformed from its manufacturing roots into the soul of the city's ceramic renaissance.
Here, the red-brick warehouses that once housed textile factories now echo with the rhythmic hum of potter's wheels, home to a community that balances tradition with avant-garde artistry.
The Institution
A&J Bake Easy
Founded by Jane Sawyer, Slow Clay Centre is world-renowned for its focus on 'Slow Clay'—an ergonomic method based on Japanese techniques that prioritize the potter's body and mindful movement.
