Keane Ceramics evolved from Roger and Margaret Keane operating Churinga Potters Studio in 1973 at Somersby on the Central Coast. Margaret produced domestic stoneware pottery and provided tuition to students and Roger’s interest in ceramics was focused on artistic designs, experimenting with textures of clay and shapes.

 

In 1977, Roger and Margaret purchased Potters Master Clays, a small local clay processing plant producing three clay bodies. Over the next few years, they expanded their range of products and built a new factory at Somersby in 1979 and changed the business name to Keane Ceramics Pty Ltd.

 

With the business growing at a steady rate, the factory underwent three extensions to accommodate for increased production and raw materials storage. In the early 1990s, Margaret and Roger were pleased when their son and daughter, Giles and Babette Keane both took on active roles within the company.

 

In over 30 years, Keane Ceramics has grown from producing three clay bodies to it’s operation today that sees it produce over 25 clays along with the supply of tools and glazes that are shipped throughout Australia and overseas through a national and international network of distributors.
