Mud Australia x UAL: London College of Communication
Celebrating 30 years of Mud Australia with London's next generation of budding creatives.
Since 1994, Mud Australia has created elegant and timeless porcelain homewares. AU
The original Mud Australia store opened in Woollahra in 2007. Since then we’ve opened 12 stores globally.
To mark 30 years of thoughtful design, Mud Australia has partnered with emerging creatives from UAL’s London College of Communication in a six-month collaboration exploring the essence of our brand through a contemporary lens.
The result is a multimedia exhibition that honours Mud Australia's heritage in handmade porcelain—reimagined within the context of London’s vibrant creative landscape. This partnership celebrates our shared commitment to sustainability, design and the value of considered collaborative making.
To celebrate this collaboration, the students have taken over our stores locations in Islington and Marylebone, filling them with installations and presenting a series of four activations during London Craft Week 2025 that spotlight contemporary craft across the city’s dynamic design culture.
