About Us

Welcome to Long Agone Ceramics, where tradition meets innovation to revive the timeless art of pottery.

Our journey began out of a personal quest. Frustrated by the scarcity of locally-made ceramic decals in Australia and the limitations of standard black and white designs, I sought to create my own. I envisioned decals that not only embraced custom designs but also exuded warmth through sepia-tones. I was searching for decals that would pair with warm earthy tones of glazes and clay bodies. I wanted decals that were outlined and not filled with colour, to allow for creativity and experimentation.

Initially, I dabbled with underglaze decals, yet I was in pursuit of a method that could capture intricate details. It was through this exploration that I discovered the consistency and detail fidelity of overglaze decals. Unlike underglaze transfers, overglaze decals offered the precision and quality I desired.

Realizing I wasn't alone in my search for high-quality, warm-toned overglaze decals, I decided to bridge this gap in the market. Thus, Long Agone Ceramics changed focus from dabbling in pottery to producing overglaze waterslide decals. Our name reflects our ethos: to resurrect and honor the ancient, often forgotten techniques of pottery artistry and decoration. We blend old-world methods with modern innovation, providing ceramicists with decals that not only enhance their work but also pay homage to the rich history of ceramics.
