Georgia Zoric - Ceramic Artist

Georgie was here

“…in a little time I began to speak to him, and teach him to speak to me; and first, I made him know his name should be Friday…”

Robinson Crusoe

Georgia Zoric is an artist living and working in Busselton, Western Australia. 

Starting her journey with clay in mid 2019, Georgia pulled on knowledge gained from a lifetime spent in creative pursuits including painting, sculpture, drawing and mosaics and a formal education in graphic design specialising in Illustration.

Using clay as her main medium, her sculptures as well as her smaller collection of functional ware draw on the theme of ‘Ocean’ that has been a constant backdrop in Georgia’s life. Each piece is hand built using a variety of traditional techniques and tools, and enhanced with matt hand mixed glazes and commercial underglazes.

In addition to the influence of the sea, Georgia draws inspiration from her deep and enduring love of children's literature and illustration. Her characters, with their wind swept beards and smoking pipes seem to have dragged themselves straight from the pages of a Herman Melville novel, and her bottles and cups could have been salvaged after centuries spent shipwrecked under the waves. 

Her functional ware can already be found on the shelves of her favourite West Australian owned stores Remedy and Morrison.

“…Now and then we had a hope, that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates..”

Mark Twain

“…When single shines the triple sun

What was sundered and undone

Shall be whole, the two made one

By gelfling hand or else by none…”
