Fire, Clay, Flour by Edible Boston
I believe that to fully appreciate craft and design you have to get involved yourself, and create something that wasn't around before. Although I'd like to I can't force new individuals to turn their hand to wood, or clay, or any material for that matter, but what I can trust in is short films like
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
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
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
Travel Photography by Eric Valli
What fascinates me about the world we inhabit today is an alternative way of living, a way of life that isn't considered by the majority as the norm. We can visit distant areas of the world and not feel like we have left our city, the same shops, restaurants, and brands surround us, culturally you c
A Place To Gather Short Film
It's projects and people like this that make my day, those immersed in their own creative bubble, striving to create products that have life and soul, quality and purpose. If you've not caught the latest film by Jamie and Keith they've been asked by the Crafts Council of Ireland to put together a co
Short Film on Rohan Anderson’s Smokehouse
One of the things I love about the work I undertake each day is that you never know what you are going to find, the internet is such a vast and powerful tool, much like the sea you never know what it's going to present on its shore. Of course not everything is useful and I can assure you we've seen
Studio Imagery from Siemon & Salazar
I don't mean to come across as somebody who's always complaining, or a snob for that matter, but I often find myself disappointed when searching the shelves of mainstream shops. I appreciate the concept of appealing to a larger market but in doing so it feels like we are losing touch with objects th
Imagery from Converted into Houses by Charles Fracchia and Jeremiah O. Bragstad
I'm currently undertaking a bit of decorating and furnishing at home, so in recent days I've been taking a browse around to see what I can conjure up in terms of inspiration and ideas to give the house an air of individualism. I found myself revisiting the comprehensive curation of a bohemian style
Architectural Photography by Richard Anderson
I've been scouring around the web for a little architecture today, with Andrew Geller from my last post sitting in the back of my mind. I enjoyed putting this piece together so much that I wanted to ensure I found something today that felt like it would present equal measure of ingenuity and design
Erik Wahlstrom photographs Jockum Nordstrom’s Studio
I thought I'd start the week with a little photography as I've been browsing countless photographers portfolios this weekend, it's always nice to check back and see what everyone's been up to. I came across Swedish photographer Erik Wahlstrom last March thanks to the collaborative project he put tog
Photography by Michael Graydon
I've been feeling a little guilty about the lack of photographers that I've brought across here recently, so I'm attempting to make amends today with this collection from one of my new found favourites, Michael Graydon who's based in Toronto. One thing that I'm not really a fan of, particularly with
