R.L. Foote Design Studio

R L Foote Design Studio is a ceramics studio in Clifton Hill, Melbourne, founded in 2018 by multidisciplinary artist Ryan L. Foote. Tableware, interior objects and larger art installations are all made by hand in the studio’s Melbourne workshop and glaze laboratory, which is open to the public.

Working with chefs, interior designers and artists, the team designs ceramic flatware and objects that rethink the physical and ephemeral experience of eating, from lighting and tableware to creative cocktails and installation. A sister business, Chocolates by Ryan L Foote, extends the practice into food through 3D printing and traditional technique. Foote, who studied sculpture and spatial practice at the Victorian College of the Arts, has exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria and Federation Square.
