A year ago, the frequently-named Australia’s best restaurant began a new creative endeavour – a pottery studio in the back of its Ripponlea operation.

’s passion for the arts and a meaningful connection with the works found in Melbourne’s much-loved restaurant was the foundation of the project. Until now, pieces made in the studio were only used in the restaurant, but soon Shewry is set to launch Attica Studio Ceramics, making the work available to the public.

Shewry has been championing local ceramicists long before the movement became ubiquitous in modern restaurants. When one of his chefs, , became eager to design a plate for the restaurant, his encouragement culminated in Attica Studio Ceramics.

Ellis is a Canadian chef who’s been working at Attica for the past two and a half years. Her love of ceramics was born out of curiosity and admiration during her time spent in kitchens surrounded by unique handmade tableware. On her days off, Ellis began taking every pottery course and workshop available to her locally. In ceramics, like in cooking, Claire finds joy in exploring the infinite possibilities of materials and technique.

For the past year, Claire and the Attica development team have been collaborating on unique serving vessels for the dining room. Careful consideration of the qualities of each new course and how it will be eaten inform the design for the new wares.
