WELCOME

At Forest Road Studio, we use the medium of clay to ground ourselves in the present moment, find connection, and embrace our own unique creativity. 

slow made, small batch

Forest Road Studio is run by me - I'm Megan, on our small family property on Peramangk (Adelaide Hills). I am a part-time potter and rest of the time homemaker, unschooling mum, gardener, seeker of inner growth, tea drinker and much more.....

​

​

I am continuously learning to unlock my own unique creativity, let go of outcomes and utilize the grounding nature that working with clay provides. I make my own work in small batches, leaning into intentional creation, firing minimal pieces 'just because'. 

The Studio is fed by solar power and rainwater, and I am always looking for new ways to reduce waste and impact.

I love sharing my knowledge with others, and really enjoy watching all who come through the studio create unique handmade treasures. I am constantly inspired by the growing number (100+) of guests who have joined us here over the last 4 years.
