Anne-Marie is the creative behind Amusing Clay and Stuff, making wonderfully quirky ceramic pieces from her studio in Foster, South Gippsland.

A lifelong maker, Anne-Marie’s creativity began with childhood drawing, cutting, pasting and even a newspaper-worthy terracotta turtle. Despite famously failing high school art, she later studied ceramics as a mature-age student a decision she describes as one of the smartest things she ever did.

Over the years her work has evolved towards more sculptural forms and simpler decoration, while her love of drawing, collage and experimenting continues. There’s always something new to make so watch this space.
