This October, as part of the Sunshine Coast Open Houses Tour and the Noosa Council Heritage Pub Trail, The Kin Kin Hotel is hosting an artists pop up exhibition including ceramics by local potter Prue Macfarlane, founder of Noosa Pottery Studio.
Prue’s plates and wall sconces are woven into the fabric of The Woodshed restaurants luxury live-fired dining experience at The Kin Kin Hotel.
The ceramics glazes, shapes, and textures play off the warm glow of candlelight, the char of the open-fire kitchen, and the rustic rough- sawn wood walls.
With a long history of studio wheel work since 1984, each piece is handmade and then painted or dipped in a range of her self made food safe glazes. She fires her works in her gas kiln at over 1300 degrees celsius, and as any potter will tell you, the end result after vitrification always has an element of surprise!
Her handcrafted tableware enhances The Woodshed’s seasonal produce and will elevate anyone’s home table setting to a level of unique beauty.
At the exhibition, Prue’s plates and cups will be available for purchase, inviting guests to take home a slice of The Woodshed’s grounded refinement along with some new playful pieces.
Friday 10th - Sunday 12th October
Thurs 16th - Sunday 19th October
New works. 7 days only
The Kin Kin Hotel is open : Thursday - Sunday from 8am with barista coffee and fresh pastries.
Prue Macfarlane At The Kin Kin Hotel
“Collaborating with Prue on the bespoke plateware and ceramic wall lights for The Woodshed restaurant has been a true joy for Oscar and me. Her work does far more than serve the dining experience — it elevates it, infusing every corner of the room with texture, warmth, and artistry. To now present Prue’s ceramics alongside the paintings of Lauren Jones feels like a perfect dialogue between disciplines, a parallel of craftsmanship that celebrates both hard-earned artistry and the simple pleasure of living with beautiful things.”
Ellie Ezrine Co-owner and Interior Designer of The Kin Kin Hotel.
