Where It All Started

Pottery For The Planet is the creative love-child of Renton Bishopric and Clare Botfield. These two artists and passionate activists were drawn together through environmental campaigning back in 2006, and have continued to campaign (and do life) together ever since.
Renton

Renton is a second-generation potter, learning the trade at an early age from his parents, who owned family pottery business, Nob Creek Pottery. This family studio become an iconic Australian Pottery, with many visiting international potters passing through. Renton has fond memories of staying up at night with visiting artists to fire the kiln. Their influence continues to be an inspiration for Renton.

Clare

Clare’s strong connection with the Earth stems from a childhood spent aiding her parents while they ran an Australian Native Plant Nursery. This connection grew when, in her early twenties, she began lending her voice to environmental campaigns. A visual artist and designer, she brings her passion and creative flair to Pottery For The Planet.
