Our Story

Good Hope Pottery can be found on the banks of Lake Burrinjuck in the Yass Valley.

We are Helen and Danielle, a mother and daughter pottery team working together to create nature inspired pieces of ceramic that are both useful and beautiful.

Our inspiration comes from our property that is surrounded by bays of driftwood from decades of trees in a flooded valley, slowly making its way to the shore as the lake rises and then falls, leaving behind beautiful pieces of weathered timber, banks of clay and river worn rocks.

We both fell in love with the flow of pottery production. The meditative throwing of clay, the slow pace of the drying and the creativity in the decorative processes.

Pottery is a daily practice for us in which we continue to learn and enjoy the fluidity of clay in all its form and beauty.
