Rory Story Ceramics

Rory Johnson (she/her) is a Sydney-based ceramic artist and the maker behind Rory Story Ceramics, working on Gadigal land in Newtown. Specialising in handcrafted ceramic art, Rory creates expressive clay forms that feel alive, combining wheel-thrown ceramics with hand-built sculptural details and whimsical design.

Her ceramic work is intentionally playful and narrative-driven, designed to disrupt the everyday and invite curiosity. Each piece blends functional pottery with sculptural elements, adding character, humour, and storytelling to contemporary ceramic practice. Rory’s work celebrates imperfection, individuality, and the tactile nature of handmade ceramics — offering objects that bring joy while becoming part of a collector’s personal story.
