Next of Kin

“Next of Kin is about handmade goodness, quiet slow moments, and sustainable lifestyle choices. It's a brand that cares about the little things (which we all know are the big things, really). About morning rituals and taking a step back from our crazy busy lives to really wrap ourselves up in that first warm sip of the day. It is about moving away from fast-paced consumption and towards wholesome little chunks of time that really feed the soul.

Created and run by mother/daughter duo, Fiona and Suzanne, the Next of Kin pottery studio is based in the warmth of Townsville, North Queensland.

Fiona is the true artist behind the brand, with over 40 years experience in ceramics and a Fine Arts Degree from Wolverhampton Polytechnic in England, she handcrafts and stoneware fires every single Next of Kin piece. Suzanne is a graphic designer with a love of all things good-for-the-soul, she oversees the creative direction of the brand.

We believe in slow living, conscious consumption, and family.” Fiona & Suzanne

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
