Showcasing artistic talent, on a new stage at the Sydney Opera House

Uncovered is a platform for local artists, makers, creatives and artisans to showcase their artistic excellence through the support of our Uncovered program. It's an opportunity for Australian-designed products to headline a residency in the Sydney Opera House's on-site and online retail shop, and for the creatives to join the growing Uncovered community of alumni participants.

Uncovered 2023

The Sydney Opera House is proud to introduce the artists that form the Uncovered 2023 collection below. We hope you love their wonderful products as much as we do.

Leaf Candle Co.

Leaf Candle Co is a hand poured, small batch candle company located in Naarm / Melbourne. Founded by Tracy Keating, Leaf Candle Co is focused on being eco-friendly and sustainable, using natural or recycled, local ingredients and materials where possible. Made from soy wax and hand-poured in small batches, the candles are upcycled from tins which can then be refilled, repurposed or recycled when the candle has flickered its last flame.
