Colour in Clay (1941) Short Film
This short film really made my morning, it's been released by the British Council and features a factory tour of Wedgwood in 1941 with some rather amusing commentary throughout. We're taken back to an age where almost everything was crafted by hand with an eye for detail, this production line prided
Short Film from Just So
In terms of commercial reach Adidas are of course one of the largest in the world, so it's natural for us as independents to stray away from the work that they do. That's not being critical, just being honest. Today however at risk of sounding like a hypocrite I wanted to support a project they're u
Spirit and Skill Film Series by Zibasan Hyogo
We're big fans of Japanese craft here so this film series that has been put together by Zibasan Hyogo was a breath of fresh air on my internet travels this morning.

Short Film on Archer by Dylan Ryan Byrne
We love the art of craftsmanship here which of course comes in various different shapes and sizes. I know many of you have enjoyed the ceramics and furniture we've shared in the past but today I thought we'd showcase something a little different in the form of an archer/traditional bow maker. Filmm

Short Film on Harpsichord Maker

Van Diemen’s Land Short Film by Rapha
We've got a lot of respect for Rapha and I'd like to share them a lot more often than we actually do, I just hate the tug of war that their popularity brings. They deserve their success and it's great to see the new projects that surface frequently, they are always fantastically filmed and are the p
Short Film on Chifuyu Enomoto
I felt a little guilty for missing out on the second instalment of the Made in Brooklyn series this morning, so I've been on the hunt for a film this evening as a means to make amends. Given we don't like to regurgitate content here I felt it was best to wait and see what else was around, so with th
Beyond the Gardens Series by Lonelyleap
I've just realised that I've not found or wrote about any good films lately, which is shame because we've showcased so many terrific independent filmmakers over the years. To break my streak I'm bringing forward this video series that I came across yesterday which I thought was something quite speci
