Fox & Forge Farm, formerly Gypsie and Bear Pottery, is a cozy 5-acre homestead on the beautiful Eastern Coast of NSW, Australia. We raise our children, sheep, bees, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and veggies here, surrounded by nature. Our home is filled with unique, handmade items that we love and now want to share with the world.

I started this journey when I couldn’t find the rustic, magical ceramic kitchenware I wanted for my home. Over time, our offerings expanded beyond pottery to include artisan ironwork hand-forged by myself and my husband, herbal and medicinal teas - grown and formulated here on the property, art prints, and soon, ceramic-making courses.

I love the versatility of crafting new items from nothing—the process of shaping, forging and planting, to create something beautiful and functional from a raw material is inspiring. Our goal is to share handmade, high-quality pieces that will bring a little extra beauty and magic into your home and your daily life.

When I’m not in the studio, garden or forge, I’m out exploring nature with my incredible husband (who only sometimes grumbles about the clay around the house!) and my gorgeous kids.

Thanks for visiting and being inspired!
