Zeynep Testoni

About

Zeynep creates functional and decorative ceramic art inspired by the ocean and natural surrounds of her home in the village of Gerroa, NSW Australia. Her fun and engaging pottery classes are very popular with locals and visitors. Ceramic art from the heart!

Just as the ocean can be crystal clear and calm one day and grey and tumultuous the next, Zeynep's ceramic practice is also a little unpredictable as she prefers to approach her making with a 'go with the flow' attitude and a philosophy of the 'pot decides what it wants to be.' She believes that each piece will eventually 'find a home', even if sometimes that ‘home’ is back in the recycled clay bucket. Zeynep prefers to make in small batches with each vessel taking on a character of its own. The eclectic and diverse nature of her work means that every piece is truly unique.
