Our makers
DOT is an eclectic community of designers, makers, and artists. We value diversity in practice, skills, and experience, believing it fosters a creative environment where great work is produced.
Christopher Clinton
Architect & Designer
Christopher, a Hobart-based architect, designer, and maker, combines a craftsman’s eye for detail with design rigour, integrating his deep material knowledge into finely-crafted furniture and objects, closely linked to his architectural practice.
Stuart Williams
Designer
Stuart's work explores our interaction with nature and how objects reflect the maker’s life and tell a story of place. His pieces are globally represented in public and private collections.
Edith Perrenot
Artist & Designer
Edith’s artistic practice explores the liminal space of intersectionalities in our contemporary cultural and sensitive landscapes. Poetics constitutes a focal point of her creative practice, serving as a radical filter. Edith works in a diverse range of materials with a predilection for ceramic, paint, wood, paper, and natural materials.
Ruby Yu-Lu Yeh
Ceramic Artist
Ruby's practice wanders between vessel, object, and sculpture, using ceramic processes to explore cultural inheritance, migration, memory, and belonging. Drawing on personal and collective experiences, she investigates how everyday rituals and domestic objects carry stories and histories across generations. In 2024, Ruby was awarded the City of Townsville Art Collection Award in the North Queensland Ceramic Awards.
Suemi Chiba
Ceramic Artist
Suemi’s practice blends classical pottery with rich surfaces that evoke place, memory and landscape. Her diverse cultural background and love of experimentation shape work that spans refined whites to dark, gritty clays. Time in Japan, the UK, Canada and Tasmania informs a grounded, craft-driven approach to functional, expressive forms.
Andrea Barker
Ceramic Artist
Andrea’s work explores the notions of ancient and contemporary stories. She has a particular interest in the archaeology of the vessel, ancient ceramics and the material remains of human history and culture. Andrea’s work seeks to make meaningful connections between the ancient world and the contemporary, moving across space, time, memory and emotion.
