About Ricordino
A “ricordino” is a little memory, keepsake, or souvenir.
Ricordino is a Melbourne-based creative studio and retail space creating original artworks, handmade ceramics, and thoughtfully curated goods inspired by food, culture, memory, and everyday rituals.
Founded by father and daughter duo Lauren and Roger, Ricordino began through local art and design markets before growing into a permanent Fitzroy shopfront and studio. Today, Ricordino is known for its bright and nostalgic visual style, celebrating food, friendship, leisure, and the objects that make a house feel lived in.
Handmade Linocut Prints & Ceramics
Ricordino specialises in hand-crafted linocut prints and hand-painted ceramics.
Our original lino prints are created using hand-carved blocks, hand-rolled inks, and traditional printing methods. Multi-colour works are printed layer by layer, often over several days as inks dry and blocks are reworked by hand. Many of our ceramic pieces are hand-thrown, hand-painted, and glazed individually, making every piece slightly unique.
Most Ricordino pieces are designed and made in Melbourne, Australia.
Makers & Brands We Stock
Alongside Ricordino originals, our Fitzroy store proudly stocks a curated mix of local and interstate artists, makers, and small creative brands whose work aligns with our love of craftsmanship, storytelling, colour, and thoughtful design.
Our rotating collection currently includes works and products from:

From prints and ceramics to textiles, apparel, cards, books, and small-batch lifestyle goods, we focus on thoughtful pieces that celebrate craftsmanship, storytelling, and everyday beauty.
Our Story
Ricordino is a collaboration between Lauren and her father Roger.
After years working in visual merchandising, retail, and creative industries, Lauren became a full-time artist in 2022 and now leads Ricordino’s creative direction across prints, ceramics, textiles, and visual storytelling.
Roger began ceramics after retiring in 2023 and now leads the ceramic side of Ricordino, producing the hand-crafted pieces that have become a signature part of the studio.
Together, they share a studio and shopfront in Fitzroy, Melbourne.
Markets, Collaborations & Features
Ricordino has exhibited and traded at leading Australian art and design markets including The Big Design Market, The Finders Keepers, and Coburg Makers Market.
Our work has also been featured by Broadsheet Melbourne and Frankie Magazine, and we’ve proudly collaborated with Melbourne Museum as part of their Rome exhibition gift shop range.
