Pakiri Clay was created by me, Rachel Waterhouse. My unique and stunning designs are a perfect combination of function and form, lovingly created at her home studio overlooking the rolling hills behind Pakiri Beach. I draw inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding her home and I am constantly looking for design ideas while exploring local beaches and forests. I particularly enjoy incorporating shapes into my pieces from leaves, flowers, birds and insects. I experiment with glazes and often like to leave parts of my work unglazed to let the naturally rustic texture of the clay shine through.
