Based in Melbourne, Rakumba Pottery was founded back in 1968 as a ceramic workshop where founder Lindsay Betts created and made original vases and lamps.
The name, which means "sunshine" in the Aboriginal language, pays homage to the peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, the ancient owners of the land on which Rakumba was born and operates in harmony with local tradition.
