About Us

Hello there!

My name is Suzanne and I am all the things here at Gumnut Design. I make gorgeous polymer clay earrings at my home studio on the Mornington Peninsula. 

My craft was born during Covid lockdown in 2021. I had been wanting to further explore earring making after having taken a course in Melbourne years prior and during lockdown I found that I had the time and mental headspace to do so. Earring making is something I carve out time for amongst the hustle and bustle of my full time job (as a social worker in therapeutic setting) and a very busy family life (kids x 3, dog x 1 and guinea pig x 1). 

I have enjoyed being artistic my whole life, with my favourite mediums being painting and dance, and now polymer clay too. Quite simply, I am at my best when I have a creative outlet. 

I am an eclectic person in terms of fashion, music taste and style, which you will see represented in my earring range. My designs tend to focus on colour, texture, pattern and Australian native plants. 

I hope that these little polymer treasures bring you as much joy when you wear them as when I make them at home. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions about the products.
