Unfolding stories through clay
Hi, I’m Sha — the ceramist behind Ārā Design Studio. Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, I offer hand-building workshops that explore organic, sculptural forms. I host both private and group classes at my home studio in Waimauku, a rural setting just 30 minutes from Auckland’s CBD. My background in interior design brings a spatial and tactile sensitivity to my work with clay.
Ceramics New Zealand is a national organisation supporting all who engage with ceramics, from practitioners to collectors, at every level, through providing access to education, knowledge, events, opportunities, and community.
