KANGAROO ISLAND

MADE WITH LOVE ON

Nestled in Mallee Woodlands on the shores of the Bay of Shoals near Kingscote, Shoal Bay Studio is a vibrant creative space where nature and art come together.

The studio is home to a stunning collection of handmade pottery, jewellery, photography and original paintings and prints - all created with passion, skill, and a deep connection to the island’s natural beauty.

Whether you're seeking a unique piece of jewellery, a breathtaking photograph, or an original artwork to adorn your space, you’ll find something truly special at Shoal Bay Studio.

The studio is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 10 am and 4 pm, or by appointment at other times.

New creations are added to this website on an ongoing basis and you are thus encouraged to visit the site regularly! Please note that all prices are quoted in Australian Dollars.


We look forward to welcoming you!

Visit the gallery to meet me and see the art in person, or if you can't stop by, explore and purchase directly from my online store.
