Jedda is a working studio and shopfront at 17 Banksia Drive, where each ceramic piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand. Founded by Jedda Purchase, the business began during lockdown as a creative escape from the beauty industry and quickly evolved into a full-time practice rooted in connection, nature, and process.

Inspired by the organic forms of native Australian flora, Jedda’s ceramics sit somewhere between sculpture and homeware. Her cups, bowls, and vessels are warm and tactile, designed to be used every day and treasured over time. Each item is made on-site, giving visitors a chance to see the craft in motion and experience the rhythm of the studio.

Jedda also runs weekly clay classes from the space, sharing her practice with others and encouraging a return to working with our hands.
