Custom orders for commercial businesses and individual customers.
Handcrafted ceramic bathroom basins stand out for their exceptional uniqueness and artistry, setting them apart from mass-produced alternatives. Each piece is individually crafted, ensuring no two basins are exactly the same. The process of handcrafting allows for intricate details and personalized touches that elevate the aesthetic of any bathroom. Whether it’s the subtle texture of the glaze, the organic shape, or the careful attention to design, handcrafted basins offer a one-of-a-kind addition to your space that reflects the true craftsmanship of the maker.
At Ian Clare Studio Potter, we offer custom-designed basins tailored to your unique specifications, ensuring they perfectly complement your colour scheme or match a specific style you envision.
Once you have placed your order we have a lead time of 6-8 weeks. If your bathroom build or renovation requires a shorter lead time depending on Ian’s kiln schedule we can bring forward your order to suite, Please contact us to request a shorter lead time and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Ian has produced two basins for our home over two different renovations projects. We were able to harmonise the rooms through the shape of the basins but adjust colour tones and size to complement each room. Ian is incredible with his ability to understand the style of basin you are seeking and to deliver handmade perfection, all in his easy going manner. We have been using one of our basins for over two years and it is still as beautiful as when it was first installed. We love our basins and consider them the jewel of our bathrooms......

Tasmanian-born Ian Clare started his journey in ceramics as a young boy, joining his parents, both potters, on field trips to gather clay bodies. Ian trained as an apprentice under Japanese master potter Shigeo Shiga, learning to wedge clay and, in his last year, to throw. Now, after working across the state of Tasmania, Ian has settled in Cygnet, where he lives and operates his own studio, producing a wide range of domestic work as well as designing and making commissioned work. His work is also held in Public collections across the state as well as many private collections interstate and overseas.
Ian’s body of work has been strongly influenced by his parents' experiments with high-fired stoneware, his training with Shiga and the Tasmanian coastal environment. Producing mostly domestic ware, Ian is recognised for his beautiful forms with richly coloured, dense glazes.
