On form

Textile designer Alanna Josie and ceramicist Georgia Casey of Artemis Ceramics have a tale of female empowerment and friendship so intertwined with their creative magic it would have been remiss not to feature them together. The two best friends are currently studying midwifery – a passion that is ingrained in their art – and in their spare time they manage their own creative pursuits. Although their businesses are run separately, they’re never far apart. Alanna lives down the road from Georgia and her accumulated hours of studying and creating in Georgia’s sunroom studio has made her an honorary house member.

The female form has long played muse to both women and their work, but their journey into midwifery has strengthened this bond even further. Their first collaboration, which will be released later this month, is the culmination of years working side by side. But whether it’s together or apart, their art serves as a reminder that all bodies are beautiful.
