Based in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, New Zealand, Staci Coble is the heart and hands behind Flow Studio Ceramics, a mindful studio rooted in slow and intentional practices.

From as early as childhood, Staci has been drawn to working with clay – experimenting with hand-building using shells to imprint clay and found natural tools and later falling in love with wheel-throwing.  

In 2021 she formalised this passion into Flow Studio Ceramics, driven by a desire to merge function, beauty, and care for materials. Her work is deeply inspired by nature and the ocean – the textures of sand and shells, the flowing currents, the shifting light on water – all whispering their forms and rhythms into each piece.

Staci’s process embraces spontaneity and flexibility: she often begins with a loose idea, allowing the clay and the moment to guide how a form emerges. She experiments with traditional and adventurous firing techniques – Raku, Salt and Gas – to bring unpredictability, depth, and nuance to her surfaces.

At the core of Flow Studio Ceramics is a desire to craft pieces that carry a sense of calm, connection, and delight.
