Putting together yesterday’s post on Andrew Geller and getting my hands on the vintage photographs was really exciting for me, it’s perhaps my favourite post I’ve put together here. So whilst I was in the process of compiling this I started thinking to myself, there must be so many archives out there with vintage photographs of other creative companies just waiting to be shared. I start …
I always seem to be landing on the Heath Ceramics webpage so why it’s taken me this long to bring across an article from them is a little beyond me. There’s no time like the present to resurrect this however which is why I’ve raided their “Art of Making” section as a little nod to the work that they’ve been doing since 1948 would you believe.

I thought we’d take a visit to the collection of Architectural Pottery today who’ve been handcrafting these vessels in America since the 1950′s. I was browsing across their webpage this morning and enjoyed their selection so much I just couldn’t help but share my findings.

I found it really incredible that the current owner Kentaro Kamide is the fourth generation of his family to direct the creation of traditional Kutani Pottery in Ishikawa, such heritage is really something to be …

I guess that’s why I look to different areas of design when trying to get inspired, such as photography, architecture, furniture, ceramics and things like that. It makes sense and runs along the same line in my opinion, but this morning I decided to pull it all back …
Our friend Taka, owner and founder of Allevol, put us onto this new interview piece that he filmed at Nigel Cabourn’s base in Newcastle, which is beautiful little area as you will see in this short film placed below. Although we’ve possibly comes across a thousand interviews with Nigel, even one we put together ourselves in text form, I have to say that this is probably one of the best video interviews that I have seen with …
