Danny Cox is a ceramic artist based in Geelong, Australia.
His work centres on functional ceramics, with a material and process-driven approach, using locally sourced clays, volcanic materials, and wood ash. Working primarily with high-fire stoneware clays and fuel-burning kilns, surfaces are altered by the kiln atmosphere, creating depth and surface variation through their interaction with flame.
Each piece carries the marks of its making and firing process, revealing the character of the materials in objects that feel grounded, tactile, and alive.
Alongside his studio work, Danny teaches ceramics across Geelong and Melbourne, focusing on developing fluency in making, confidence, and a deeper understanding of material.

Thrown and turned on a manual kick wheel from a blend of Australian commercial and wild clays, this set includes 12oz, 6oz and 4oz cups accompanied by a single matching saucer. Reduction fired to 1300°C, the wood ash glaze develops soft olive greens with a translucent quality that reveals the character of the clay beneath, allowing the effects of atmospheric firing to become part of the surface.
Thoughtfully proportioned for everything from a piccolo to a generous coffee or tea, each cup offers a different drinking experience while sharing the same family of form and glaze. Designed for everyday use, the set encourages choosing the cup that best suits the moment.
Each cup is individually made and fired. Variations in form, glaze and surface are an intentional part of the making process, ensuring every piece is entirely unique.
This teapot is thrown from a blend of Australian stoneware clays and finished in a wood ash glaze. Reduction fired to 1300°C, the firing brings out soft olive greens, iron speckling and subtle movement across the surface. Made to be used often, every detail has been carefully considered. The pulled handle sits comfortably in the hand, while the balanced form and refined spout create a clean, controlled pour.
