Firing Service
Need your ceramics professionally fired without investing in your own kiln? Michelle Morton offers a small-batch community firing service from her Tingalpa studio in Brisbane.
An intimate, sculptural clay experience created exclusively for your group.
Host your next gathering inside Michelle’s Tingalpa studio.
A refined, hands-on experience designed for connection, creativity, and something beautifully tactile.
The Experience
Step into a softly lit, limewashed studio where neutral tones, gentle music, and natural textures create a space to slow down.
Over 2–3 guided hours, your group will be led through a sculptural hand-building process, shaping clay into a statement piece completely formed by your own hands.
No experience necessary.
Just presence, creativity, and the ritual of working with clay.
Fired by Passion
Driven by her love for hosting friends and family, Michelle believes in the transformative power of exquisite surroundings.
Her homewares, much like her oyster platters, elevate the everyday experience.
Michelle believes in the profound impact that thoughtfully designed homewares can have on one's well-being, creating a space where every moment is an opportunity for elegance and connection.
Harmony of creation
In the spirit of clay underfoot and fire in the heart, Michelle Morton humbly acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we create and connect. With reverence for the dreaming stories woven into the fabric of this ancient earth, we pay tribute to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, past, present, and emerging.
Fired by Passion
In the hands of Michelle, clay becomes a medium for culinary expression, each piece meticulously shaped and glazed to perfection.
With a passion for detail and a dedication to craftsmanship, Michelle creates pieces that are not just functional, but objets d'art, designed to enchant and inspire.
