Getting a sneak-peek at what goes on behind the scenes inside the Kim Wallace Ceramics studio, it’s easy to see the creative mind of the local business owner herself.
With such a well-known brand, it’s hard to believe there’s just a small team of eight creating all their pieces by hand in the vibrant and eclectic industrial precinct of Noosa.
While her own collection keeps her busy, one of Kim’s favourite things to do is collaborate with artists and restaurants on joint projects, including one of Noosa’s newest restaurants, Park and Cove.
Kim said, “It’s been a bit of a journey to get here, but we love what we do.“
“Tableware is a big component of what we do and I think that’s my big passion, because I love cooking and I love healthy, organic food.
“Supplying ranges to chefs and restaurants is a huge passion of mine, but even if you’re a home cook, putting beautiful food on a beautifully made plate just completes that circle of the care and love that goes into it.
“When you can tell that the plate was also made with a lot of love, with amazing colours, it just makes the food pop. Customers come into the store and I love seeing them get excited about mixing and matching their own dinner set.
“We also do a lot of giftware and decorative items, a lot of pieces to complete your home such as vases, incense holders and oil burners.“
