About ochre
Ochre, brings together designer and maker, Lauren’s two passions; jewellery and ceramics. Creating bespoke, handcrafted pieces that celebrate the beauty of their natural materials. From homewares to jewellery, each piece is uniquely designed to tell a story.
Ochre also offer workshops where you can learn the art of ceramics and jewellery-making, allowing you to design and make your own custom pieces.
Offing both workshops and products, you can either learn how to create your own custom pieces or take home something already beautifully designed and crafted.
Ochre’s Mission
I believe we hold onto our most treasured possessions for life, they become the totems for our memories and milestones. A precious pair of gold hoops, gifted to us for our 30th birthday. A beautiful handmade ceramic vase passed down from our grandmother. It is so important to me that Ochre’s pieces nurture those same sentimental feelings.
I believe those stories start with how each piece is created. This is why I share with you my processes, it's why I am guided by an awareness of Ochre's footprint on the world, it's why my ethos has always been. . .
“To craft beautiful pieces considerately and ethically, respecting our beautiful planet. So that when I hand the pieces over to you, the love story has already started...”
Mindfully Making
I have always tried to make sure in all decisions I make, from the way I craft Ochre’s pieces to how I run its pottery events, the environment is at the core. But I can do better! This has led me to partnering with One Tree Planted.
Each and EVERY sales goes towards planting trees via One Tree Planted Australia. My hope is this will result in thousands of trees being planted every year.
With the help of this beautiful community we have been able to plant OVER 2500 Trees since starting in October 2020!!!
