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 16 years ago 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.
