About Us

Hello from the Sunshine Coast, Australia!
We’ve had a little name change — welcome to Journey Ceramics (formerly Made With Love Ceramics). Our pieces aren’t going anywhere, but you can expect some new designs, glazes, and a fresh feel rolling out soon.

At Journey: we believe life isn’t meant to be rushed.
In our ever-busy world, our pottery is created as a gentle invitation to slow down—to savour the simple moments and find beauty in the everyday.
A quiet morning with tea in hand.
A shared coffee and unhurried conversation with a friend.
A moment of stillness to simply ‘be’.
Each piece is made slowly and thoughtfully, carrying with it a sense of calm and care. We design our pottery not just to be used, but to be felt—to bring comfort, connection, and intention into your everyday rituals.
After more than 20 years of friendship, we felt drawn to create something that reflected the way we wanted to experience life—slower, more present, and more connected. 
Each piece is handmade - slowly, in Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, by our small team. Our work is grounded in connection, intention, and the belief that the simplest rituals can be the most meaningful. 
Designed to be held, hugged, and used forever, our pottery is made to become part of your daily rhythm—something familiar, something comforting, something lasting.
Because life is a journey. And it’s meant to be lived slowly.

    I love pottery and Made with Love Ceramics' cups fill my drawer at home and are my go-to for gifts. They are really lovely to drink from and the message cups are such beautiful gifts. The owners' are lovely, which makes buying local so rewarding!

    The quality and feel of the mugs are such high quality but each one is unique. They are 'touchy-feely' and give me such joy when I have my morning coffee. Beautiful designs.

    Oh my goodness, the designs and mugs these guys make are amazing! Comfortable to hold and so pretty! Can't help buying a new mug everytime I see Claire and Tess at the markets. These ladies are so warm and welcoming.
