Discover Muckware, a boutique ceramics studio nestled in the Byron Bay Hinterland village of Newrybar, just minutes from Ballina. Founded in 2020 by local ceramicist Grace, who was born and raised in Byron Bay, Muckware reflects a lifelong connection to creativity, craftsmanship and small business.
Alongside her thoughtfully handmade ceramic pieces, Grace offers private wheel-throwing and hand-building pottery classes from her Newrybar studio. These personalised, one-on-one workshops are tailored to your skill level and creative goals - whether you're new to clay or looking to refine your technique.
Each two-hour private session includes full use of the studio and hands-on guidance in a relaxed, immersive setting. Come with a project idea or Pinterest mood board, or simply arrive on the day and see what unfolds. No experience is required, and sessions are ideal for individuals or pairs seeking a creative hinterland escape.
Grace's ceramic work is guided by timeless design and purposeful simplicity, with functionality at its core. From elegant mugs to versatile servingware, every piece is crafted for everyday use - designed to be lived with, loved and enjoyed daily.
Visitors to the Newrybar studio can experience the charm of handcrafted ceramics in a beautiful coastal hinterland setting. Whether you're local or travelling through the Northern Rivers, Muckware offers a meaningful connection to artisan craft and creativity in the Ballina region.
