People in the mountains are rightfully renowned for their handcrafts.
Local potters hand-throw their pots and wood fire them before working with subtle glazes to create pleasing home wares for every occasion. Potters workshops sell “at the studio” or from local outlets.

The Upper Clarence is famous for its timber, and craftsmen work the local rainforest timbers to highlight the deep, translucent grains to perfection.

Our crisp air and clear light has made the Upper Clarence a Mecca for artists and craftsmen, some with international reputations. Landscape painters inspired by our rural scenery and forests produce works at an affordable price and in frames suited to most lounge room decor, or any painting can be reframed to suit the individual taste. These mountains are famous for the needlework and delicate baby knittingof our countrywomen, and individually designed children’s clothing can be found in some craft outlets.
