Robert Gordon
At Studio xOx, we believe in partnering with artisans who share our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Robert Gordon is a testament to this ethos, with a rich heritage spanning three generations of pottery-making excellence.
Since 1945, the Gordon family has been synonymous with fine craftsmanship, producing pottery designed to last a lifetime. Proudly made in Melbourne, their creations are crafted from 100% recycled Australian clay—a testament to their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Step inside their Melbourne workshop, and you'll witness the meticulous process behind each piece. Using 100% recycled clay, Robert Gordon slip-casts their Kiln basins, pendant lights, and wall hooks, transforming raw materials into functional works of art. This hands-on approach ensures that every basin and pendant bears the unmistakable signs of skilled craftsmanship, with subtle idiosyncrasies that only hand-making can achieve.
Dedicated Craftspeople.
What sets Robert Gordon apart is their fusion of architectural expertise with traditional pottery techniques. Trained as an architect, Bobby Gordon brings his industry knowledge to the development of each piece, resulting in designs that are as functional as they are beautiful.
At the heart of Robert Gordon's operation are their dedicated craftspeople—35 local artisans who bring decades of experience and skill to their craft. Each piece of pottery passes through the hands of 12 skilled individuals, ensuring attention to detail and a level of quality that is second to none.
The story of Robert Gordon is not just one of craftsmanship but of family legacy and passion. Inspired by his mother, renowned potter June Dyson, Robert 'Andy' Gordon continues to honour his family's heritage, creating pottery that embodies timeless elegance and enduring quality.
At Studio xOx, we are privileged to collaborate with Robert Gordon, sharing their vision of timeless craftsmanship and dedication to excellence.
