We’re always striving to do things better—whether in design, production, culture, social impact, or environmental responsibility. Sustainability is at the core of our design philosophy. Our products transcend seasonality, complement any interior, and are made to last. Each new addition to our range is designed to be both useful and harmonious with existing designs. We believe that conscious and responsible consumption begins with thoughtful design.⁠ ⁠ By managing our entire process in our Sydney studio, from concept to finished product, we make a meaningful impact on our team, customers, and the environment.

Numbers — Make a statement with the first thing you and your guests see.⁠ ⁠ Your front door isn't just an entry point; it's a statement of your personal style and a practical wayfinding tool. We believe that every detail of your home should reflect you. Our porcelain Numbers might be the finishing touch to your dream home renovation.⁠ ⁠ Blending the organic qualities of porcelain with a modern, graphic font, our Numbers create a refined and playful design that will make your home stand out. The 3D porcelain Numbers are bold and whimsical, filling a gap between industrial metal and decorative tiles. This innovative approach ensures that your house numbers are not just practical but also a piece of art.⁠ ⁠ Explore Numbers below or at your local Mud Australia store. https://lnkd.in/e8ERdD5z

Beloved home cook Julia Busuttil Nishimura always knows the right dish for the occasion — regardless of season, party size or mood — and understands the power food has to bring people together, whether that's to prepare a meal as a family or enjoy the delicious results.⁠ ⁠ This warming, seasonal Apple and Rhubarb Pudding is one of Ostro's favourite things to make when the weather turns cold. "Still warm from the oven, it is perfect with a generous pour of cream. It’s almost like a crumble, but with a spongy cake on top instead, it is really comforting and sees you well into the cooler months. Substitute the rhubarb for blackberries, fresh in late summer or frozen in the depths of winter."⁠ ⁠ Baked using our Pudding Bowl in Ash, Flan Dish in Milk and served in our Pebble Bowl Cereal in Mist. ⁠ ⁠ You can find the recipe here— https://lnkd.in/e3TSv-3e

Meet Alfred Lowe, the 2024 Shelley Simpson Ceramics Prize recipient. For Alfie, clay is not merely a medium but a conduit for exploring themes of Country and identity.⁠ ⁠ Alfred Lowe, is an Arrernte artist hailing from Snake Well in the Central Desert, to reflect on his journey from the heart of Australia to the global stage of ceramics. Growing up in Alice Springs, Alfred's artistic roots run deep, nurtured by encounters with legends like Clifford Possum and the vibrant Araluen Arts and Cultural Precinct. Now based in Adelaide, Alfred's passion for ceramics ignites daily at the APY Art Collective Studio, where he crafts vessels that echo the spirit of his homeland.⁠ ⁠ "It's really exciting," exclaims Alfred, reflecting on receiving the Shelley Simpson Ceramics Prize's 2024 award. "To be recognised by Shelley and Mud Australia in this way. Knowing that Shelley is an expert in both ceramics and business, and holding a long career in arts and design too, it really is an honour." ⁠ ⁠ Alfred's portrait and works are now on display and available for purchase in the windows of our 12 Mud Australia store globally. ⁠ Read more from Alfie, below — https://lnkd.in/e42v9_XX ⁠ #SSCP #ShelleySimpsonCeramicsPrize2024
