About us

We’re Samantha and Ronnie, proud (and often messy) ceramicists behind Little Clay Ceramics. From our tiny studio in Arana Hills, QLD, we create small‑batch ceramic earrings inspired by colour, texture, and the joy of making something a little bit unique.

What began as a creative escape slowly grew into a small studio filled with clay, glaze, and a whole lot of heart. We love the raw beauty of ceramics — the way each piece transforms in the kiln, the subtle variations in glaze, and the individuality that comes from making everything by hand.

Because we don’t manufacture on a large scale (and let’s be honest, our earrings wouldn’t be made with as much love if we did), we only create small quantities of each design. It means every pair is unique and special in its own way.

Our earrings are finished with gorgeous glazes and hypoallergenic surgical steel findings, making them lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for everyday wear. 

We’re always welcoming new stockists and custom orders, and we’re endlessly grateful for every amazing customer who chooses to support our small local business.

How are they made?

Each pair goes through a careful, multi-step process:

• Design, shape, and dry — We hand-cut and shape every piece. We’re also constantly on the lookout for items with interesting textures that can be pressed into pieces to give them their own character.
• Glaze — Let’s be honest, it’s all about the colours. We hand-paint each piece, then carefully sponge the backs to ensure a clean finish.
• Kiln firing — This is where the magic happens! Each firing takes around 8 hours with the kiln reaching over 1200 ^oC (that’s hotttttt!). The fragile clay and glaze are transformed into permanently hardened earrings with a glass-like finish. 
• Assemble — The final step: we sit with teeny tiny pliers to add the findings …this is the part where we often spend a lot of time on the floor looking for dropped jump rings…. All our findings are made from hypoallergenic surgical steel to protect even the most sensitive ears and ensure they’re comfortable for everyday wear.

The result? Earrings that are unique, brightly coloured, lightweight, and made to last for years.
