Handcrafted Connections: Visiting Mayde Concreting at Ashmore Arts

There’s something deeply special about collaborating with other makers who share our passion for craft, sustainability, and timeless design.

We visited our supplier May from Mayde Concreting—a talented artisan creating beautiful, organic concrete basins right here in Torquay. Her workshop is tucked inside Ashmore Arts, the very same creative hub where Bombora got its start. Stepping into her space felt like coming home.

A Shared Philosophy: Slow, Sustainable, and Handcrafted

At Bombora, we believe that the items we live with should be made with care—crafted to last, and chosen with intention. That’s why partnering with Mayde is such a natural fit!

May handcrafts concrete basins in a range of soft, earthy tones. Each piece carries its own subtle texture and character with every piece completely unique, just like the timber we love to work with.

When paired with our solid timber vanities, Mayde’s basins bring a grounded elegance to any bathroom space. The raw, organic finish of the concrete complements the warmth and grain of the timber—creating a feeling that’s both modern and timeless.

Rooted in Place

There’s also something special about May creating her beautiful collection of concrete sinks in our old workshop at the Ashmore Arts precinct. This is a creative hub that continues to nurture Torquay’s maker community. We love knowing that the space is still filled with the energy of handcrafted work and local collaboration.
