The Moon, The Garden, and Me:

Inspired by Julia Lipovsky’s relationship between the earth and the unknown, The Moon, The Garden, and Me invites the emotional complexity of life into rituals of service and care. Wild, organic, and strong, this collection explores femininity and domestic labor from a contemplative and personal lens. This body of work is part of the 2025 Rookwood Artist Series.

Rookwood Artist Series:

With roots reaching back to 1880, Rookwood has long been a place where creative vision is honored, celebrated, and boldly pursued. The Artist Series continues that legacy by inviting artists from a range of disciplines to bring their own voice to the medium of ceramics. Whether hand-decorating existing forms or collaborating with our team to develop original work, these artists bring fresh perspectives that challenge tradition and expand whats possible. Staying true to Rookwoods longstanding belief in recognizing the individual maker, each piece is signed by the artist alongside our iconic flamea symbol of shared creativity and enduring craftsmanship.
