Monochrome Vessels by Ceramic Artist Yoshitaka Tsuruta
These fantastic monochrome vessels by ceramic artist Yoshitaka Tsuruta caught my eye earlier in the week. It's great to see work that's so unique and different, in fact I've never seen anything like this in all the years that I've been coming across pottery and ceramics. A few elements that I like i
Works by Japanese Potter Mamiko Wada
After my recent posts on architecture, basket weaving, lacquerware and antique art, I feel like I've been pulling out all the stops to show a variety of different subjects on the blog. It's not always that easy, as usually these things come in bunches so you end up with too many architects or too mu
Potheads by Maker Kim Jaeger
It almost seems ironic that I’ve talked about two similar artists in the space of one week, previously I showcased Stella Baggott from the UK, and today I’m pointing out a film I watched over on vimeo about ceramic artist Kim Jaeger by Historia Films. Kim’s been one of my favourites at Mr Kitl
Japanese & Oriental Art at Hotoke Antiques
A selection of beautiful bowls and antiques from a shop called Hotoke, located in Isumi, Japan. Their website yesterday offered a great amount of inspiration, particularly on the ceramic side of things, but I was also interested in the other objects that had cultural significance to the orients. Thi
One of a Kind Ceramics by Atelier Stella
As you all know I'm a bit of a functionalist at heart, but I'm always intrigued when designers give their work that added touch of personality and character. Take for example these amazing ceramics by Stella Baggott, who makes these pieces under the alias Atelier Stella in London, England. It's grea
Ceramic Works by Renaud Suave of Atelier des Cents-Ans
We're taking a small break from pottery at our local workshop due to it being closed for a month, so I've been hunting around for some inspiration to tide me over. It seems like a good idea to keep a little workbook of ideas that could come in handy whilst throwing on the wheel. Although I have to a
Finishing with Potter Koichi Ohara
Currently I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the potters wheel, as the studio we attend locally is closed while the owner takes a well deserved holiday. Although I can't actually get involved myself for a few weeks I've been enjoying watching others undertake the process earlier today, so hop
Pottery by Yoko Ozawa Photographed by Olga Bennett
I was awoken with a surprise email the other morning, when Yoko Ozawa sent over a fantastic array of photographs taken by the ever so talented Olga Bennett. Olga’s a bit of a regular here on the blog and has been heavily featured in the past, to say we’re admirers is an understatement. Olga’s
Series of Sculptures by Pamela Sunday
At the turn of the year I thought I’d come through with a selection of sculptures to compliment our recent interview with American artist Patrick Dougherty. I’ve strayed away from wood however and put together a series of imagery from another American creative, the lady in question being Pamela
Pottery Works by Kazunori Ohnaka
As we take a little break here on the blog for Christmas I often find myself routing around online for inspiration, especially when the weather is bad and I'm stuck inside. Today happens to be one of those days, but I was lucky enough to come across a fantastic collection of works by Japanese potter
Porcelain Creations by Nathalie Derouet
A set of astonishing creations by French artist Nathalie Dérouet. I'm not one to bring across many artistic works, as I'm quite a functional individual and don't admire a gallery setting for a number of reasons, but often I find myself taking inspiration from forms in this category (even if it be f
Ceramics by Kai Jun Asai
We are quickly running out of fresh excuses for our obsession with Japanese craft and design, however I've been admiring another creative from that neck of the woods today so I thought I'd stay true to tradition and highlight the work of potter Kai Jun Asai in today's post. I came across his work vi
