Nina has created a sleek series of anodised aluminium bowls in a range of colours that are visually striking. Named the 'Mina Fold Bowl', the dynamic design makes an ideal fruit bowl, retailing at $245. Colours included black, grey, steely blue, sky blue, green, golden yellow, orange and red. The future will see Nina develop these bowls into various sizes and new limited edition colours, stay tuned! Katie's gorgeous animal ceramic salt and pepper shakers (wombats, quolls and penguins) hark back to a past era of tea cosies, ceramic duck wall hangings and cupcakes in the afternoon. Each pair is signed by the artist and numbered in editions. With 20 only of each pair and retailing at $195, you'll need to get in soon! In stock now: penguins, finches and wombats with more animal designs to come in the next few weeks. Nina Ellis Nina completed a BFA (Gold and Silversmithing), RMIT, 2003.
