![]() Britt Neechīritt creates sculptural pieces from her home studio in Melbourne’s south and is driven by process-based experimentation. Kirsten creates through exploring and pushing the nature of clay, playing with the material and allowing for an element of chance and serendipity to enter. Japanese culture, aesthetics, and Wabi Sabi philosophy all greatly influence her work. Kirsten is an artist with a background in Industrial Design, Fine Art (Gold & Silversmithing) and Multimedia now working predominantly with clay from her Preston studio. Her work features beautiful textures, strong silhouettes and stunning curves that contrast with sharper angles. Simone is particularly attracted to hand-building techniques in her work, such as coiling for its tactile and organic process, allowing her to take on a fluid approach when creating. Simone first studied ceramics in the early 90s and after a long hiatus from making has recently returned to her ceramic practice to explore form and texture, within a minimalist aesthetic. Below are a list of seven incredible artists to keep an eye on! Simone Karras Every piece at pépite has been carefully considered, and I am particularly passionate about uncovering emerging artists and supporting them to get their work out into the world, which has become an integral part of what pépite is all about.Īt the very heart of pépite is an ode to our incredible community of local creatives, and my aim is to support and foster it as much as I can. I select artists based on that feeling when you see something completely new and exciting, and think this is exactly what you’d been waiting for. An essential part of the selection criteria is that the work is handmade by the artists themselves (rather than just designed by the artists) and be of high quality and well finished. It’s important for me to work with artists that I believe in, and that are serious about their craft, beyond trends, so I can see their practice develop and flourish over time. ![]() Following this success, it wasn’t long after that I got the opportunity to share a space with Alpha60 in Fitzroy, which I moved into exactly a year ago. Pépite first started with a three-month pop-up in Northcote (conveniently located at the base of my apartment block!) which allowed me to start small and test the waters – it was so much fun, and people really got behind it.
