While I’ve been experimenting with ceramics for  about five years, a major shift happened recently when I closed my design business to focus on clay. In a world where everything has become so digital, there is something deeply rewarding about returning to pure, handmade techniques. This past year has been a joyful deep dive into tactile exploration—bringing my design background into the physical world to play with raw textures and vibrant colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMy current work centers on the meticulous technique of sgraffito. I am drawn to the power of simplicity: using a single, bold color to create high-contrast, impactful imagery. Stripping away the noise allows the focus to shift entirely to the harmony between the graphic design and the clay body beneath. This collection is a celebration of texture, a testament to the enduring power of bold lines, and an ongoing experiment in how design evolves when it takes physical form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerry Hardy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54182383878443,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/1560\/0427\/files\/image_f98a6a0e-938f-4c68-bfdb-9b4c21cea7c6.png?v=1784524702","url":"https:\/\/13zhy6-xn.myshopify.com\/products\/blaze-of-peonies-flower-bag-2-kerry-hardy","provider":"Inverell Art Gallery ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
