Though I very much enjoy using stoneware clay, working with Raku is what intrigues me the most. This raw, earthy, ancient Japanese firing process offers all the excitement a potter could ever need!

Each one-off piece presents movement and its own unique personality.

Frankston native Belinda “Billy” Nye thanks her Peninsula upbringing for the aesthetic that now dominates her work. She recalls summer days of her youth spent flying down Oliver’s Hill on her bike from her family home to sketch sublime bay-side views from the Frankston pier. Nye’s first oil painting, completed at the age of seventeen as a gift to her mother, depicts the famed Oliver’s Hill in vivid colour, reminiscent in style of retro Australian icon, Ken Done.
