Edward O’Brien is an established potter and experienced teacher. He lives in a little coastal community within the Bowling Green Bay National Park, in the Townsville region.

These bowls were part of a striking installation ‘Coral Bleaching’ by O’Brien and fellow potter Leela Chakravarti for Strand Ephemera 2019. You can now purchase them individually, or in sets.
