Step inside the creative world of clay.

Now in its 13th year, the North Coast Mud Trail invites you to explore the studio spaces of 33 ceramic artists working across 24 locations in the Northern Rivers region.


Wander the trail at your own pace, guided by the 2025 Mud Map brochure (available in July), and discover the incredible diversity of ceramics being created right here on Bundjalung Country — from functional wares to experimental sculpture, wood-fired pots to contemporary porcelain.
