Eve Simmons, the heart and
hands behind Liquorice Moon
Studios ceramics, talks us
through her creative process.
How did you get started working
with ceramics? I began exploring
working with clay two years ago
while a stay-at-home mum.
I was instantly hooked. There’s
something about creating with clay
that calms the mind.
How would you describe your
style? It’s quite eclectic and earthy.
I’m not an orderly person and
simplicity is a challenge for me,
so I try to work with the ‘organic
beachie boho’ vibe.
What is your creative process
like? Organic and unplanned.I oft en come up with new ideas by
accident, experimentation, or when
something goes ‘wrong’ in the kiln
(my kids and I call these happy
accidents). I studied fashion design
aft er high school, so that taught
me to focus on creating a collection
of pieces.
How do you stay inspired?
I fi nd inspiration comes quite
easily. I think if you love what you
do, the ideas just fl ow. I’m very
driven to learn new things so I put
a lot of energy into becoming
better at what I do. I also surround
myself with beautiful collected
objects; things with a story.
