My Work
Megan’s art practice is rooted in connection — to the self, the earth, and the quiet rhythms of nature. Working primarily with hand-built clay, she draws inspiration from the textures, patterns, and organic forms found in her garden and the natural world. Her pieces often incorporate botanical imprints from plants she cultivates herself, alongside a collection of textured stamps that echo the shapes around her — each one a quiet mark of time and presence.
Through a tactile and meditative process, Megan creates work that invites stillness and introspection. Every form is shaped by hand, slowly and intentionally, allowing space for imperfection, softness, and grounding. Her ceramics are not only vessels, but gentle invitations — to slow down, to reconnect with nature, and to notice the quiet beauty in everyday textures.
Connection is at the heart of Megan’s work: connection to moments in the garden or with close friends, to the shifting seasons, and to the quiet intimacy of the handmade. She hopes those who encounter her work feel a sense of presence — a moment of pause — and a renewed closeness to the earth and to themselves.
About me.
​I'm Megan, studio host + maker at Forest Road Studio
​
I love making things with clay, and sharing our studio space with others so that they can experience the grounding that happens when working with clay
I came to pottery at the perfect time in my life ...
​
~ nearly ten years ago, when I really needed to connect back to my body, spend more time in the present moment, and retain my identity outside of being a new mum
​
Working with clay brings me instantly into connection with my body, it allows me to explore my creativity, and to connect with others.
​
I love to follow what flows ...
​
My favourite (and often most productive) time in the studio is when I let go of outcomes, making way for possibilities outside of what I think I should make.
I love to let the clay guide me, to feel my way through the making process rather than thinking through it. I encourage all Studio Guests to do the same, and I have witnessed some amazing results.
Working with clay can be a form of therapy, it possesses an ability to ground the maker ...
No words need be spoken, connecting to your hands and feeling the clay is enough to bring you right into the present moment.
​
My hope is that Guests of the Studio will feel welcome and relaxed. Connect to their own creativity, to the clay and to each other, and to create something that will be used and cherished.
​
Forest Road is not my full-time role ...
​
I have others that include - unschooling mum, gardener, mental wellness conversation starter, lifelong learner, appreciator of simple moments, perspective chair (sit spot) connoisseur, emotions advocate, nudibranch admirer, tea drinker, gratitude campaigner, seed collector, scuba diver,
star-gazer, wife, mother, woman ...
​
I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Forest Road Studio.
