Ms Nicol said she saw the mugs online and thought it would be a lovely idea to buy each member of her team a mug to drink from during their online coffee breaks on Zoom.

"I bought the mugs as a surprise for my team who are based in across NSW, Victoria and New Zealand and thought it would be nice for them to own something handcrafted," she said.

"It's been difficult adapting to a new way of working, but with the coffee breaks we've been able to laugh and relax for a little while."

In addition to featuring in Zoom breaks, Miss Keogh has made specialised urns of Pets at Peace Central West.

Pets at Peace Central West owner Shane Whiley said it has been difficult to source urns from his Sydney producer because of the coronavirus and orders.

"We have known Jude for quite a while and thought it would be a great idea to support her ceramic business," he said.

"So far, she has made 50 urns and this has allowed our business to continue and send pets ashes to people without delay."

Miss Keogh said she wanted to make something for Pets at Peace to help someone's best mate to rest in peace in a meaningful way.

She said it was vital for people to continue to support local artists who have lost work due to social distancing restrictions limiting their ability to exhibit.

"It is important for the community to help artists as galleries and art spaces are closed," she said.
