The Project: APYACC x Mud Australia
Together, APYACC and Mud Australia are working towards the establishment of a First nations owned and operated, state-of-the-art ceramics studio. The studio will blend high-volume production with culturally significant, artist-led design. The result, an artistic and economic platform for Aboriginal artists and artworkers, that supports sustainable employment and income around the design, production, sale & distribution of high-quality ceramic product lines. United by values of collaboration, quality, innovation and self-determination, APYACC and Mud Australia are forging a new model for culturally empowered creative enterprise.
APYACC Kiln Fundraiser
We are proud to soon be unveiling the latest addition to the Mud Australia x APY Art Centre Collective partnership: two striking new porcelain forms inspired by piti—the traditional vessels used by Anangu women for generations to carry food and water. These powerful shapes, rich in cultural significance, have been reimagined in fine porcelain and brought to life with the bold, contemporary visual language of APY artists.
But this release is more than a celebration of design, it’s a catalyst for lasting change. To coincide with this first small-batch launch on the 27th June, we’re fundraising to install commercial kilns in our new state-of-the-art ceramics studio. This vital infrastructure will support in-house production of these new forms, creating jobs for First Nations artworkers. It will also enable more consistent supply of blank forms, unlocking opportunities for artists and a steady income stream across South Australia’s Aboriginal-owned Art Centres.
