Meet the Maker: Sophi Suttor's conceptual work examines the loss of habitat and its replacement by the generic she is looking at specimens through the filter of the work of Rohan Ellis. Producing fragments of the generic as a demonstration of how easily we lose the detail and cultural stamp of our personal landscape
Works are childlike and toy like to highlight how easily we are seduced by pretty things. Using lots of generic flowers and toy like items to highlight how readily we accept the generic. This acceptance erodes national identity and leads to devaluation of all things native to Australia this process is aided and abetted by globalisation.

Meet the Maker: Robert Schwartz is an American Glass Artist, who graduated from the Australian National University School of Art in Design with a Master of Visual Arts (Advanced) in 2017.
His art work explores how the materiality of glass can be used to provoke wonderment in the complexity and ingenuity of the amalgamation of elements in even the simplest of forms. His work identifies and draws comparisons between various elements of nature, design and process to influence and guide his making and aesthetic decisions - man-made and natural phenomenon, glass blowing and glass casting, multiple components and interconnections.

Meet the Maker: Froni Binns creates coloured porcelain jewellery and other wares from her home studio in Kyneton, Central Victoria. Having originally studied visual arts at the ANU School of Art and Design in the 1990s in the Graphic Investigation and Glass workshops, Froni returned to making in recent years as a therapy whilst caring full-time for her elderly parents. What began as explorations in colour eventually grew to working with porcelain and production jewellery within the tradition known as 'Nerikomi'.
Nerikomi allows Froni to explore pattern in porcelain with its properties of holding colour brilliantly. Since her return to making Froni has fallen in love with ceramics as a medium. Generally working without glazes, Froni sands and polishes the porcelain to show the simple beauty of the clay body. From being a therapeutic process, making has grown into her little business of making jewellery and small objects. For Froni, taking the handmade out of the gallery space as jewellery brings the objects alive.
