Tara Shackell works in clay to produce quiet, considered objects for everyday use and contemplation. Her pots are thrown on the wheel, with a focus on simplicity and materiality.
Tara studied a Bachelor of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts and later completed a Diploma of Art (Ceramics). Recently she has been painting in oils, trying to capture light and exploring the landscape. Her current work focuses on creating simple objects that express tranquillity and space.
