Bopdotz

Sara Hogwood and is the maker of bopdotz ceramics and silver jewellery as a low-production enterprise in Canberra, Australia. Her goal is to bring a little happiness into people’s lives through the mediums of clay and sterling silver.Taught by experienced and creative makers in both disciplines, she likes to think that they’ve given her the skills to explore her ideas, paring them back to achieve my aim of simple, well-designed, well-made pieces. Pottery is the slower process: throw a piece, wait for it to dry, bisque fire it, glaze then fire again, planning ahead so that for each firing there’s enough work to fill the kiln. This process usually takes a couple of weeks at best.
Silver is more immediate – jewellery pieces can be started and finished the same day.
