Australian textile designer and weaver Dimity Kidston has brought her skills for producing unique and decorative tapestry to the art of ceramics. Dimity has a passion for objects, whether textile or ceramic, to be both beautiful and functional. Her current work is inspired by traditional Balinese wood carving and batik, the bright, colourful designs are carved on to the clay using a sgraffito technique. The motifs she uses in her ceramics are naïve, bold and contemporary. A hand-made aesthetic is central to her work, and as each piece is individually carved, no two pieces are the same.
