About

Kelly Greenhalgh is a ceramic artist currently located on the NSW Mid North Coast, Gumbaynggirr Country. She makes functional tableware and sculptural ceramic art, often combining the two to create her work. Kelly is particularly interested in the ubiquity of ceramic objects throughout history, and how the materiality of clay directs the making process in her practice.
In 2019 Kelly graduated from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art). She has worked as a studio assistant, had her work and writing published in the Journal of Australian Ceramics, exhibited in several group exhibitions and taught workshops at Shepparton Art Museum, Nambucca Valley Phoenix and Archive Mid North Coast. From 2022 to early 2026, Kelly worked as a production thrower and production manager at Village Pottery Company in Valla Beach, NSW, while also undertaking a Masters of Secondary Teaching at Charles Sturt University. As of 2026, Kelly will commence work as a secondary Visual Art teacher while continuing her own ceramic art practice from her home studio.
