ABOUT US

Barefootfivetribe is the creative love-child of Ceramic Artist Jo Robertson. Situated in the small seaside town of Gerringong on the South Coast.

Jo has always had a love for the ocean, wellness & has a creative energy. She wanted to share her love for Clay to those that wanted to follow the same journey and give people a taste of what Clay has to offer.

Barefootfivetribe was launched to bring Clay into peoples lives as a way to reconnect, meditate & bring much needed wellness back into busy lives.

Working with Clay can take our mind to a place of peace & serenity. It teaches us to slow down and enjoy the moment. It’s a great way to clear the mind of anxieties and is wonderful for our mental health. It is also a great way to connect with friends and family whilst creating together.

When I bring out a ceramics collection it is alway When I bring out a ceramics collection it is always in white variants. It may be a darker earthier Clay or a white Clay but it will always be glazed in white or clear. There is a method to my madness..... Not everyone can afford to purchase big collections at once, so when you purchase your ceramics from me you’ll know that each collection release will be different however it will always go with the last. I have done this on purpose , so you can purchase one pieces or two knowing that the next release you’ll be able to purchase again to add to your collection making it unique and bigger over time. So don’t be afraid to purchase just one piece because I have you in mind the next time I release a collection. Just a little insight into how I do things to make it fair for everyone. XO

Our Mud - When I first started my business I sho Our Mud - When I first started my business I shopped around for the perfect Clay. I bought 8 different Clays and tried and tested them myself. I didn’t just pick some random Clay, it had to be organic, non toxic, no added plastics, it had to be air dry to take out the long awaited firing times. But, it also had to be a Clay that could be fired, not all air dry is fireable. There were so many stipulations and I needed to make sure that it had all or most of these stipulations. I wasn’t going to compromise, at the end of the day as a small business it had to be the right one and I couldn’t bring myself to sell something that I wouldn’t use myself. So you can imagine when I found a Clay that offered everything I wanted in an air dry clay, I thought I may have to compromise on something but to my surprise I found the perfect Clay. One that had all of my stipulations. One, that was dug straight out of the Earth, one that was clean to use, one that was strong. Oh and don’t forget it also had to dry to a beautiful natural coloured clay medium. So many people love our clay and how it feels, you just want to touch it, smooth it and play with it. You can find our Clay online for purchase if you’d like to try it out for yourself, we sell our beautiful Clay online separately or in a kit including an 8 piece tool set. Or even better book our 3hr Clay Experience in your home, holiday property or business where we come to you. Oh and we have free shipping, what’s not to love ✌🏻 XO

Dear Jo, OMG your work is beautiful & I am so honoured to own some! Thank you so much. I love them with appreciation.

Samantha Wills

I recently had a Clay Workshop for my Husband and Three children. Jo organised everything, she set up our Clay Family Experience & organised the catering. It was the perfect way to spend time as a family together and we will definitely be doing this again! Thanks Jo

Danielle

With each new piece that Jo creates I see an unfolding of beauty and purpose, making her ceramics unique, distinctive and stunning.

Jo has such a pleasant and warm nature, she was the perfect host for my 40th Birthday Clay party. We all had such a wonderful evening!

I would highly recommend Barefootfivetribe Ceramics for any group or gathering!

Melody

Jo’s ceramics are so divinely designed and crafted. Her attention to detail and organic styling is reflected in every piece. I love the pieces I’ve purchased and can’t wait to add to my collection.

The ceramic workshop was so engaging, fun and creative. While we can’t all be master ceramicists like Jo, the experience was brilliant and uplifting for even a beginner like me. Such a great thing to do with your friends, exploring your own creativity and connecting with each other over a few glasses of bubbles…heavenly!!!!

GenevieveOcean Willow NSW

Jo it was the best day, absolutely loved the workshop.

A day full of creativity, laughter and of course, Chatter.

Thank you for being so generous with your time.

Sonia

Great workshop, I learned so much and was nice to do in our own environment,

throughly recommend and would do your workshop again.
