Sketch Coffee and Art
Sketch is a dreamy, breath-of-fresh-air beachside cafe with some of the best coffee in Wollongong (and I’ve tried a few!) Sketch is home to the talented local artist, Jaqueline Burgess, and her stunning surreal-esque coastal artworks. Alongside Jaq’s art, the gift store within the cafe is filled with a diverse range of products from local artists and makers.

Wollongong Art Gallery
A local landmark and one of the largest regional art museums in Australia, you’ll find White Clay Mountain in the gallery’s gift shop. Way back in 2000, I had my artworks shown in the gallery, and it brings me great joy to be back on display with my jewellery over 20 years later.

Hello Petal Flowers
Hello Petal Flowers is a contemporary eco florist full of the most gorgeous blooms and passionate, creative women. Not only do the shops smell divine (as you would imagine!) but the music playlists are top notch, and each store hosts a variety of gifts from local small businesses. It’s super simple to drop in and bundle a beautiful gift together in one friendly place, and every single person I mention the stores to raves about them!
This is the first of my spaces to house a selection of one-of-a-kind White Clay Mountain ceramic pieces, with more coming soon.

Wollongong UniShop
On the most beautiful university campus in the country - a place I am proud to say I studied and worked at for 15 years - you’ll find the UniShop increasingly stocking a range of local artists and small business products. It’s also a one-stop shop for official UOW Merchandise, study essentials, textbooks, course notes and equipment, and graduation memorabilia and gowns. As a UOW Pulse business, proceeds from everything you buy at the UniShop go toward enhancing the student experience on campus.

Alvive Hair Design
My amazing local hairdresser, Louise, is chock full of community spirit and has supported White Clay Mountain without question or expectation from the very beginning. Alvive is a lovely space to hang out in and be pampered, with a little box of jewellery goodies to sift through while you’re waiting. You may also recognise the salon as the host of the Farmborough Heights rainbow pet wall! In fact, Louise coordinated the installation of the iconic wall where artworks of our local area’s beloved pets feature (including my whippet, Bacon - in green)!

What people are saying...
“These studs are absolutely gorgeous - I love that they are handmade locally and each piece is unique #oneofakind. Bec really knows what she is doing, I really can’t get enough of her creations! Highly recommend.”

“The earrings I ordered are BEAUTIFUL. I couldn’t be happier with the quality, weight and style of the earrings. Thank you so much Bec. Love from a forever shopper.”
— Stacie
“I adore the imprint design, colour and the shape. I’ve had so many compliments since buying these as they are so unique and beautiful. I also have sensitive ears and have found that the metal does not effect my ears at all. They are also so light weight that I forget I’m wearing them. I’ll definitely be buying more of these beauties.”
