ZUKO, short for ZUGA KOSAKU is a handmade ceramics studio based in Sydney’s Bundeena. This seaside village is inside Royal National Park situated on Dharawal country.

​

Beginning life in 2005, ZUKO takes its playful Japanese name from the traditional art & craft class taught throughout Japan’s elementary schools.

 

ZUKO’s bespoke pieces include large & small cups & mugs, plates & bowls, dishes, platters & vases. Each is individually handmade using Australian clay and unique Japanese glazes. No two items are ever identical.

 

From single one-off pieces, which make great personal gifts to large matching sets that cater for cafes & restaurants, ZUKO’s work is functional, durable and collectible. 

​

ZUKO’s ceramics are all organic, kosher, free-range, artisan, bespoke, halal, with no MSG. They are non-GMO, wabi-sabi, no wasabi, fair-trade approved with no preservatives; ying-yang, no ping-pong and lactose-free. The ceramics have no added sugar, no hormones, are gluten-free, bio-dynamic, BPA-free, dolphin friendly, whale friendly, galah friendly, pigeonfriendly, koala friendly, and biodegradable-eventually.

ZUKO ceramics are sustainable, loveable, instagrammable & respectable. They are one with Mother Earth; they are a personal stand against Star Wars, a move toward peace & love; a mind-body statement, full of balance, harmony and joy. ZUKO ceramics are IKEA-free, vegan pottery and suitable for everyone, everywhere.
