Turn Turn Turn
At Turn Turn Turn, we are committed to sustainably sourcing unique Australian timbers from near (such as the Gold Coast) and far (such as Strahan in Tasmania and Cameron Corner in South Queensland). Our processes are the antithesis of mass production. Our mills, bowls, vessels and utensils are hand-turned by me (Dave) in our “Shedquarters” on the Gold Coast. We have selected the Woodstock from numerous regions around Australia for its stability, distinctive grain knots, natural edge and other unique characteristics. These pieces may have once been a Rosewood fencepost at Mundubbera or a submerged piece of Huon Pine reclaimed from its resting place in the Gordon River, Tasmania. Our mills utilise only the finest quality Danish-designed ceramic mechanisms. All of our pieces are “made-of-Australia”, hand-crafted with care. They are valued and practical heirloom pieces.

Each piece is meticulously burned by hand onto sustainably sourced invasive timbers, including Jacaranda and Camphor Laurel, transforming weeds into a beautiful, environmental statement. Deeply influenced by the Sunshine Coast and Surrounds, Kellie’s work reflects over 20 years of living, observing, and connecting with the region’s natural beauty, wildlife, and community spirit. From native flora and fauna to whimsical and evocative designs, every artwork carries a sense of place, story, and craftsmanship.
Nuu Stitch
Nuu Stitch began with a desire to support and celebrate creative practice, producing thoughtfully designed ceramic and sewn tools such as yarn bowls, pin cushions, ceramic pattern weights, and potters’ aprons. Over time, the practice has evolved into a distinctive blend of functional ceramics and textile work including mugs, travel mugs, bowls, and homewares alongside wearable, quilted garments. Rooted in practicality and care, each piece is made to be used, worn, and enjoyed in everyday life. The work balances utility with warmth and character, reflecting a hands-on approach that values craftsmanship, durability, and the quiet beauty of well-made objects.
Colen Clenton

Emma combines hand tools with power tools, allowing efficiency where needed while maintaining an intimate connection to the wood. Always guided by the grain, Emma responds to the character of each piece of timber, letting it's density and history determine the final form.
