Featured artists

Alicia Butt is a South Australian emerging artist specialising in ceramics. Butt explores the importance of tactility to the medium of ceramics by creating handcrafted functional pieces with textured surfaces that are pleasing to look at and pleasant to handle. Her work shows a thoughtful approach to the making process and a sense of curiosity to the possibilities of the materials.
She hopes to capture a sense of elegance in her designs and takes pride in the precision she shows in the refinement of each piece. She is driven by a desire to master her craft and to share her practice with others through the unique pieces that she creates. Each piece is made with patience and care to create something one of a kind for people to enjoy using in their everyday lives.
Alicia graduated from Flinders University and Adelaide College of the Arts in 2020 with a Bachelors Degree in Creative Arts (Visual Arts). She is currently working alongside other creatives at The Mill to establish her own small business Ali Potter Ceramics which is a one-woman operation.
Anna Goodhind is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice centres around themes of family, mortality and the natural world. Working across various mediums including painting, textile, collage, sculpture and installation, Goodhind often explores existential conflict within the human condition through the subjective experience of the individual.
Her most recent solo exhibition Presence – Absence at Sauerbier House in November 2024, opened up a means for grieving through a reshaping of time, place and inheritance following the death of her mother in 2018 and her father in 2023. Goodhind also works as an art installer and exhibition curator. Her continuing practice focuses on a process of exploration and experimentation.
A long time ago Robert Viner-Jones, AKA Bob Window left Adelaide in search of all things fashion.
4 years of fashion studies, 25 years as a fashion designer with a side distraction of 3 years at The National Art School, Darlinghurst learning all things textile design and printing left him with a hunger to combine beautiful hand printed fabrics with his obsession with the mid century aesthetic, hence ‘bob window’ was born.
Bob believes colour and whimsy should be a part of everyone’s life. He also believes in the purity of individual design and hand printed, hand made treasures.
He’s back in Adelaide now and creating all manner of loveliness at The Mill.
Calamity Tash, local queer Craft Wizard, believes art is for everyone and is most passionate about inclusivity and accessibility to the creative arts. Over the last decade Tash has been skill sharing with communities across the globe.
The spreading of craft joy will continue as Tash becomes an enthusiastic resident at The Mill. Tash’s signature sparkle and use of whimsical dolls have been her wearable art trademark. Calamity Tash joins us on a journey of self expression and discovery. Her private studio will see the creation of many a weird and wonderful thing.
Lauren Kathleen (she/her) is an Adelaide-based illustrator, whose bright, colourful work is inspired by nature and her wanderings through the world. She works primarily digitally, and with oil or acrylic paint to capture simple, everyday moments of beauty and stillness, finding pockets of peace in gardens, forests, the ocean, and the sky. The building blocks of her work are always long walks, exploration, and contemplation.
Lauren also writes poetry and prose, and can often be found with a film camera in hand, observing always and collecting inspiration from the world around her in all forms, sometimes visually, sometimes in writing. She enjoys using all these components of her creative practice together, to develop projects that incorporate the poetry of both words and images.
Lauren’s current focus is on finding new applications for her art, exploring new mediums, and creating more than she consumes, to develop an ever-evolving portfolio of work that represents her perspective.
My name is Lisa Khan, I'm from Coober Pedy. Yankunytjatjara/ Antakirinja/ Pitjantjatjara is my language. I paint my Grandmother's ngura (my home, the land and rockholes), she was born near Coober Pedy. I paint My Grandfather’s country, he was born at Wallitina Station. I paint the parente tjukurpa, it travels through mintabie, mimili, indulkana. I also like to paint my home Coober Pedy, minyma tjukurpa.
Growing up we used to follow our parents out bush and look for Opal, we'd play in the sand but had to watch out for shafts. My grandmother showed us how to hunt lizards, we caught the ankata (bearded dragon), at school we used to go on day trips with the elders and look for bush tucker and different bush fruits. When I paint, I feel connected to my country and my grandparents who aren't here anymore, It is my job to look after the country and the stories from my grandmothers.
GOOD SHOP features a collaborative project between Lisa Khan and Brand South Australia.
Under my label Days of August, I make sculptural stainless steel jewellery that's restraint in form but bold in scale.
Melissa Au (She/They) is a ceramicist with a tendency for overthinking.
To combat their overthinking, they use repetition and automatic making.
The resulting collections of work can be developing iterations of a concept; explorations of subconscious influences; or created just for fun.
River Flowings is an emerging ceramic artist, currently practicing their craft in Adelaide.
River’s work incorporates intricate surface manipulations and detailed paintings. They use high quality clay to create functional pieces that express their originality and unique style. River employs their technical skills and decorative techniques through playful experimentation. Their pieces tell stories, and allude to experiences and scenarios; the creations are intuitive and based on memories and subconsciously stored impressions or knowledge, referencing imagery they are still in the process of extracting and analyzing.
Living with a “dynamic disability” can make everyday tasks difficult. Working in ceramics has provided River with a meaningful pathway to express their thought processes, their detail oriented way of noticing the world around them, and their imagination and approach to life.
Making ceramics has assumed a therapeutic approach that allows them to process a world that challenges them on many levels.
Through their ceramic work River engages with their environment, their community, and the person that will use the ceramic form they created. “When one struggles to communicate in ‘normal’ ways, a tangible piece of ceramic connects people in ways beyond words or pictures. People can come to a mutual understanding without language through the appreciation of the making and the use of an object.”
River’s mentors include Toni Strazdins (Urth Clay Studios) and Rolf Bartz (Adelaide ceramicist) who are ongoing teachers and guides. River does not have any formal art school training, as institutionalised learning is challenging due to their disabilities.
River is currently working from The Mill which allows them to immerse themselves in a thriving arts community that enlivens their creative process, provides momentum and supports their sense of belonging.
