About

My name is Claire, i’m Melbourne-based, my practice spans ceramic lighting, product design, prototyping, exhibition design and curation, with a focus on the relationship between material, light and form.

In 2017, I co-founded Fluff Corp with Jia Jia Chen. Together we create object-based lighting and have curated projects for Melbourne Design Week, Design Tasmania and Footscray Community Arts.

Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss a project or collaboration.

Background

My practice has evolved from painting and digital media into ceramics, sculpture and lighting design. Through ceramic lighting, I explore luminosity, texture, process and materiality, creating objects that balance industrial precision with the tactile qualities of handmade ceramics.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne, an Advanced Diploma of Electronic Design and Interactive Media, and a Diploma of Ceramics from Holmesglen TAFE.

Since graduating in ceramics in 2017, I have exhibited or curated shows at Craft Victoria, Melbourne Design Week, Design Tasmania, Footscray Community Arts, Project 8 and completed a residency at the European Keramic WorkCentre (EKWC) in The Netherlands.

Studio Lehmann is located on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging.
