NORTH FREMANTLE
A space to slow down.
Our North Fremantle Studio is home to both Porch Ceramics and Cisco & the Sun – a place where the tactile elements play.
We specialise in ceramic design and production, host group workshops, and house a dedicated retail space to showcase our in-house brands, art & numerous studio-based creations.
We welcome you to clear your mind, connect, create and appreciate art in its many luminous forms. We’re proud to line our walls with the happy escapes and visual comforts of photographer Christopher Hendriks (link: https://fat-digits.com/), whose works can be purchased from the aforementioned retail space.
In the ceramics studio, you’ll find Sammy Smith, his expertise are at the helm of our group workshops both on and off the wheel, with hand-building sessions available for bigger groups, celebrations and corporate team building events.
Working with clay allows individuals to enter a state of flow where they can fully immerse themselves in the present moment and let go of every day stressors. This process of slowing down promotes mindfulness and encourages a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Bringing people together in our studio and sharing this experience is at the forefront of why we do what we do.
