About the Maker: Katie-Ann Houghton (KAH) aims to challenge the culture of mass consumption by creating work with innovative design and handmade quality. Katie’s design philosophy is based around the idea that the objects that we engage with every day should engage our senses and bring us joy through use.  

Designed to be both functional and practical, KAH aims to change the conventional expectations of tableware, and have us view each piece as both a piece of contemporary design and an object of use.

Katie-Ann Houghton is an Artist, Designer and Maker based in Sydney Australia. Her contemporary works are inspired by early 20th Century Design and embody a decade long passion for traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques.

About the Makers: Founded in 2011, Days of August's signature look comes from it's unconventional use of industrial grade stainless steel - a metal not typically used to make jewellery - which meant reinventing and adapting traditional fabrication techniques to accommodate its solidity and strength.

Stainless steel perfectly complements the maker, Marie-Pier, design style - minimal and intentionally simple - and with it she creates architectural and contemporary statement pieces. Believing in timelessness over trends, he combines clean lines and considered composition to create wearable jewellery essentials that transcend the seasons.

With a focus on sustainability, Marie-Pier put in place eco-friendly practices from the start, and is now partnering with Ecologi to offset her environmental footprint, making Days of August a 100% carbon neutral business.

Meet the Maker: Sarra Tzijan is an Indian-Australian artist originally from Melbourne currently based at JamFactory in Adelaide, South Australia.

Tzijan’s practice spans sculpture, jewellery and design, focusing on the combination of traditional craft hand skills with contemporary art.

There is a strong reference to illustration that featured more prominently early in her career. Tzijan often treats the metal like paper, marking it in a way that is intuitive and spontaneous.

Tzijan often brings in other hands, voices and materials in her processes, acknowledging the importance of others in the making.

About the Maker: Alice Sutton is a designer maker, and owner of the sustainable fashion label Edition. She works from her studio in Canberra creating beautiful, sustainable, wearable items.  

Each EDITION collection explores sustainable design and zero waste pattern making. My zero waste pattern making called 'Selvedge to Selvedge'  has informed the design aesthetic of EDITION. A key aspect of the design process is uncertainty as the final garments silhouettes are determined in the process not through drawings.

Through each collection the EDITION label evolves and the unique, multi functional garments create a new language for sustainable design. All EDITION garments are Australian made.
