Hi. I’m Sarah.

I’m the hands behind Rough Ceramics. I design, craft and fire every Rough piece. 

My studio is tucked in the industrial zone of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, on Guringai Country.

Considered and crafted.

We’re into functional ware & homewares.

We want to make things that fit into daily life and make your morning coffee or shared meal a bit more special.

We’re into hand made

We want to preserve the knowledge and techniques of traditional crafts. We want to contribute to local industry, and keep quality high and consumption low.

We’re into small batch

We want to design products with creativity and ardour, and for each piece to be made with attention to detail.

We’re into good design

There’s a lot of stuff in the world. We want the stuff we contribute to work well, do the job, feel good, and (of course) look good.


If you’re into us…

…then we’d love for you to support local & handmade. Pick up a piece from the store, or share us with your community.
