About

Dawn Oakford is one of Tasmania’s finest ceramicists. She works from her home-based studio in Lenah Valley, producing an extensive range of limited edition, slip-cast tableware and art works. Oakford is best known for her eye catching product range that draws inspiration from Australian wildlife, including endangered species. In this series, jugs, teapots and cups are strikingly decorated with images of Australian birds and mammals including quolls, striped possums, Tasmanian devils, parrots, lorikeets, finches and kingfishers. This is a popular range, offering something unique to those seeking a quality memento of Australia. Oakford’s name is also linked with the creation of striking one-off teapots. These derive inspiration from many sources and take a fresh and often playful look at such things as art history favourites, films, books, textiles, zoology and jewellery. Oakford also creates more sculptural pieces, assemblages that link the forms and decoration of her tableware with statues and doll-making.
