Beck Millsom
Beck Millsom began crafting handmade ceramics as a form of art therapy in 2019. Born out of a backyard shed (eventually graduating into various sunrooms) and desire for muddy hands, a cross-over of illustrative applications inspired by tattoo art and mythology on ceramic forms kicked off Beck’s reputation as an emerging ceramic artist in Melbourne, Australia under the pseudonym Ophelia Weeps.
In July of 2023 Beck opened Sunroom Studio; a space that is accessible to artists, families and anyone seeking time and space to create /+ play.
