About

Hello! My name is Kirby and I am the founder of Indelible Designs. When I first started making ceramics I had no idea I would have brought so many people joy from my work. Thousands of pots later, there are Indelible Designs pieces all around the world. It first began to take off when I showed my friend Madeline some of my work one day. I ended up having a car boot sale and started my first ceramic instagram and off I went! I started doing markets and making work to sell. That was the easy part, I finally was able to move pieces on and make more room from new ones. I’m quite industrious so you can image that when I fell in love with clay it wasn’t long until I had way too many pieces for one person. 

Indelible means to making lasting marks or memories. This concept is echoed through each of my pieces. I try to include the evidence of finger pressure and make it clear that you can see it is hand made. Each piece is different and that is what I find so special about them.

I wanted them to be little artworks in themselves. My hope was that people could find something that they cherished, to make more memories with. I have always been drawn to the concept of memory, spaces and object in my art practice even in my art school days at VCA.

As the years have gone on I have dipped in and out of ceramics as part of my creative practice, having busy periods and rest periods too.

To this day, every time I pick up a mug the first thing I do is check the foot (bottom) to see who made it. Just to check if it has a hand made impression. The imperfections are usually the things that I am the most drawn to, because that is what makes each piece unique. Little mistakes in ceramics are often the most beautiful part of the object, a little bit of magic. 
I hope you can find something that you love, that inspires you or brings you a little bit of wonder.
