Works by Ceramic Artist and Sculptor Andrei Davidoff
Today I'll be making my weekly visit to the local pottery studio. I've been meddling with the idea of producing a teapot on the wheel for a while, so I've been watching various tutorials to get an idea of how to make such an object. Like researching any craftsmen, these guys have been doing it for y
Vessels by Woodturner Bill Luce
I'm sure you'll agree that it's quite obvious to see a makers inspirations straight off the bat. I hadn't even read through any information on woodturner Bill Luce, but instantly I knew he had some sort of affiliation with Japan, or had been inspired by that particular region of the world. His clean
Ceramics by Justine Allison
Often you find out a lot about a creative by their 'about' or 'bio' page, I like to hear what they have to say and what their inspirations are, whether it be as a maker or a designer. Through all these years finding and sourcing inspiration for the site I have come across many common traits that con
Glass Sculpture by Stephen Procter
Stephen Procter is a bit of a legend when it comes to working with glass, he initially began by researching English glass engraving, this inspired him to learn and explore the craft in more detail. During the late 60's and early 70's, in his studio near Ashburton in Devon, UK, Stephen focused entire
MOLD ALL Exhibition at Tortoise, Glassware by PP Blower
After watching a fantastic short documentary titled ‘GLAS’ yesterday, directed by Bert Haanstra in the 50?s, I had the inspiration to write about some glassware that I’d come across late last week. If you’ve yet to watch the piece, it’s definitely a must for any creative, or anyone who’s
Wood Fired Pottery by Hannah Lawrence
Yesterday at the pottery studio I was determined to make a teapot, so I had the studio owner throw the main body for me on the wheel to show the general process and how one can be formed. Like anything new, my first set of attempts were extremely poor, and I couldn't quite grasp what I was actually
Architectonic Sculpture by Brian Corr
Sometimes I spend weekend mornings, when it's quiet around here, looking for creative films and other design content that might be inspiring, not necessarily for the blog but just to keep my mind refreshed and in check. For some reason this week I stumbled in to three or four different glass artists
Tetra by Yohei Kuwano and Koji Takahashi
Today I thought I'd pick out a slightly different set of objects to talk about, it seems like a nice switch away from what we usually talk about, architecture, craft, furniture etc. Saying that, these do sort of come under the architectural 'umbrella' in some ways. I love the dimensions of these obj
Porcelain Tableware and Wall Installations by Basma Osama
Recently, I have been considering the world of ceramics in terms of inspiration and as a personal pursuit. Being a purist, the beauty of materials in their raw, or near-raw state, is highly appealing. The endless amount of clay bodies, each with their individual characteristics, naturally lend thems
Glassware by Masahiro Ishikawa
I thought I'd update the blog with some new craft work that I found on my travels around the web last week, it seems to have become absent from the blog lately. But I have to say I feel like we've been doing a good job on the shop. I mentioned before about us getting some lacquerware in the store fr
Architecture by Shinobu Ichihara
There's something so appealing about Japanese architecture, the open spaces and sense of purity is unique to anywhere else. To be honest, you don't see it all that often in other parts of the world, but when you do it really stands out because of the surrounding houses or those that are close by. I
Bathrooms by Agape Srl.
While browsing one of my favorite picture blogs, I came across the image below on the left. The purity and warmth is what stopped my scrolling fingers. All of the images featured on this page come from Agape Srl., an Italian company headquartered in Roncoferraro, Italy (a part of the Mantua province
