Ochredfern was initially conceived as an idea for an art installation where the interior is a vignette of the creators own home. Taking treasured pieces of furniture and objects to fill the space, giving it a welcoming air. Ochredfern is peppered with vintage and new pieces sourced locally and abroad. The art, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, drawings and prints along with handcrafted jewellery are predominantly procured from local artists in the Sydney area.

Ochredfern proudly supports local artists, showcasing their work in store with finely curated exhibitions - this affords artists the exposure they deserve. The notion is to encourage prospective shoppers to invest in homegrown talent and enrich their domiciles or businesses with original pieces of art, sculpture or ceramics.

Our range is being expanded to include hand crafted items for the home or wardrobe. We look forward to your visit and indulging in the experience that is Ochredfern

The major ingredient of all the ochres is iron(III) oxide-hydroxide, known as limonite, which gives them a yellow colour.
