Domo de Argila by Artist Andy Goldsworthy
This short film on artist Andy Goldsworthy seriously caught my attention yesterday, possibly because it brings back memories of ‘Rivers and Tides’, a documentary portrait of Andy Goldsworthy by Thomas Riedelsheimer made over ten years ago. You should 100% watch the trailer to the film on youtube
Series of Modernist Sculptures
It's not often I put together this type of post featuring a selection of creatives in one go, but I thought I'd break my own mould today after searching around a number of fantastic online archives. Sharing the video of modernist architect Josep Lluis yesterday relit my own interest in the era and I
Wood in Progress by Ernst Gamperl
Ernst Gamperl is a bit of a legend in the craft circles, I'm surprised we haven't talked about him before because his wooden forms are spectacular to say the least. It seems like a good time to visit his works and showcase some exciting shapes that might get you all inspired, it certainly had me int
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
Function Dysfunction Exhibition with Alma Allen, Ani Kasten & Adam Silverman
The function vs non-function debate is one that I regularly battle with, as a designer my urge to make things structural and quite conformative is a very natural one, I like the idea of ordering disorder. But one thing I've been trying to do lately is to step outside this mindset and be more free an
Short Film on Sculptor Richard Serra
You might have noticed the blog going a little quiet over the past few days, I just want to come through and apologise on that front. I hadn't come across a project that has really gripped or enticed me, and we feel compelled to try and offer something insightful here when we do post. Which is why I
Short Film on Wire Sculptor Rodger Stevens
It feels great to return to an artist, creative or craftsman and offer them a little further coverage, given many of these independents are on quite a personal journey with their work, it’s interesting to see what makes each one tick. I thought today we’d revisit the work of New York based Rodge
Ceramic Sculptures by Claire Muckian
The past few weeks have seen a mini influx of ceramic work into the shop, with some remarkable creations from both Japan and here in Europe. Perhaps this has taken the edge off work we've been coming across for the blog as I haven't noted too many functional wares that have really stopped me in my t
Large Wooden Pebbles by Joel Sayre
Some fantastic wooden pebbles that I came across earlier made by Joel Sayre. They reminded me of two of my favourite woodworkers, one named Alma Allen and the other being Ed Moulthrop, the so called ‘father of modern wood turning’. Possibly Alma because of the shape and lovely finish, and maybe
Photo Series from In The Make
We're are naturally always on the hunt for makers, and In The Make have them stockpiled, so once again I've returned to their door this morning to raid a little photography. Last time around we highlighted their studio visit to sculptor Mari Andrew, which if you didn't catch a glimpse of was like a
Leslie Williamson Photographs Constantin Brancusi’s Atelier
I better insert a spoiler alert before we begin today as I've once again raided the blog of photographer Leslie Williamson as she puts together the second edition of her handcrafted modern book. Now I really hope I'm not revealing too much that is to reach the final publication, I'm assuming these a
Short Film on Sculptor Dimpy Menon
We are lucky that each day we get the opportunity to come across so many diverse and exciting creatives, everyone has their own story to tell and a fresh perspective to share with the world. I'd like to introduce you all to a sculptor today who's progressive persona really struck a chord with me, he
