Blueware Vases by Glithero
I'm doing the unthinkable today by returning to the same creative who's work we showcased yesterday, but before we get inundated with complaints I better mention he's a filmmaker highlighting some really inspiring makers and shakers. Yesterday Petr Krejci introduced us all to the Czech collective th
Mobiles by Xavier Veilhan
I've discovered that it's actually posible for me to create an interesting array of mobiles myself, in fact I finished the first one this week for my office and I think it looks fantastic. Great to see when the light shines in from the front window and the various levels create shadows of all differ
Short Film on Vyrobeno lesem Collective
When you sit and consider for a moment how many objects, foods and materials around us are synthetic it makes me feel a little uneasy, I don't agree that price of something is where its real value lies. As time passes I feel myself moving more and more towards items with organic origins, I like to b
Lacquerware Stones by Noboru Akagi Akira
My interest in lacquerware has hit quite a high, investigating the different methods is highly interesting as it's something that's totally new to me. Us folk in Europe haven't really experienced this sort of craft before, it's not something that's readily available and easy to find. Although I've t
Short Film on Woodturner Robin Wood
It's not everyday that we are lucky enough to come across a film documenting a maker perfecting their craft, but today I'm excited to highlight the work of woodturner and artisan Robin Wood who is based in Peak District, England. Robin is in fact quite a specialist individual, according to his word
Ceramics by Naotsugu Yoshida
Looking back over the past few weeks we've been really spoilt in terms of creative talent, it brings me great joy uncovering all these individuals and hopefully I'll be shining a bit of light on them in terms of exposure. Today we're going to explore the work of Naotsugu Yoshida, a potter who lives
Glass Sculptures by Bert Frijns
So last week was pretty hectic here, we were running between London and the office for Design Week, but it was great to step outside the bubble and get inspiration in other creative fields. One particular place where we picked up a few ideas was at the Victoria and Albert Museum, although not packed
Documentary on Potter Lisa Hammond
Before you begin this fine week with us I think you better put the kettle on and get comfortable as Goldmark have put together another of their awe inspiring documentaries following the work of a potter in the lead up to their latest exhibition. Today the creative we get introduced to is another Eng
Preserving the Authenticity of the Eames Furniture by Eames Demetrios
Although we've mainly been discovering craftsman and artists lately we're definitely not looking past the fact that we enjoy various designers who have designed items that are currently being mass produced. In fact, my office bookshelf is littered with hoards of books from the likes of Jasper Morris
Wooden Sculpture by Ben Butler
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the patterns that naturally emerge here on the platform, we often go through periods of focusing on one material making it easy to get overstocked in that specific department. Recently we seem to have kept the balance just right, but not too long ago cerami
Asserbo house by Christensen & Co Architects
The last two days I've been spending quite a lot of time dedicated to scouring Denmark to see what I can find in terms of craftsmen and women, be this ceramic, metal, glass, or wood workers so hopefully we can bring a few of these individuals to light here in the next few weeks. In the meantime whil
Inside the Studio of Japanese Potter Takeryo Kawaguchi
Today I've come across another special little feature that really grabbed my attention, it's an inside look at the studio of Japanese potter Takeryo Kawaguchi. He makes some incredible pieces like bowls, cups and tea pots so it's great to see the process and the environment that he creates in. He wa
