I was admiring the work of ceramic artist Gwyn Hassen Pigott last night, so I’ve brought across a handful of imagery from this artist who’s been working in the field for almost 60 years now. It’s hard not to appreciate someone who’s been working in the same area for this long, in my generation I think it’s an ideal thats on the decline but hopefully a few of you will appreciate this concept and will …

As the tuesday winds down here in England I just wanted to quickly point everyone in the direction of a wonderful project that I came across late this evening, which I think will finish your day off nicely. I’m talking about the delicate creations of ceramicist Heather Levine, who recently created these handcrafted light-shades in aid of the interior design found in the Wildwood Restaurant, Portland, Oregon.
