Ceramics by Karin Michelsen
It's pretty inevitable now that our internet digging will often land us in one of the Scandinavian countries given the considered eye for craft and design in this part of the world, similar to that of Japan. So it doesn't really surprise me that we return here today through the work of Danish cerami
Short Film on John Pomp Studios
I don't think I could ever grow tired of seeing glass being blown as it's such an enchanting process seeing the material transform from one state to another. I just wish there were more short films of this quality around, I get really excited when I stumble across short docs like we have here today
Ceramics by Job Heykamp
I was really taken aback this morning by the work of Dutch ceramist Job Heykamp and his beautiful rustic style that makes his creations look fresh from a archaeological find. He's obviously influenced massively by the ceramic work of ages gone by and this shows through the worked surface and coloura
Manos, Pottery Studio by Oscar Liedgren
This post is a case of one project leading to another as we return to talented Swedish filmmaker Oscar Liegren and his latest short film which features Potter Karin Eriksson in her studio. Many of you enjoyed Oscar’s previous piece we shared on Kiki, the Japanese design store in Stockholm, so I de
Collection of works from María Aparicio Puentes
Time for a little visual arts now as we visit the work of Chilean creative Maria Aparico Puentes and her mixed media imagery. By combining film photography with textiles Maria curates a playful yet eye pleasing series that emphasises the geometry found in these wonderfully taken black and white stil
Collection of Works from Sculptor Hirotoshi Ito
The combination of a sublime skill set and a playful imagination is one that has won so many of us previously by the likes of Dali, Warhol and in more recent times Damien Hirst. The art of surrealism reminds us all that the impossible is plausible which is why this playful set of sculptures from Jap
Yasuaki Onishi by Mark & Angela Walley
As many of you may already know I'm quite a big fan of the filming style of Mark and Angela Walley, I'm just glad they're equally adept at sourcing out some really innovative artists like Yasuaki Onishi who features in this film of theirs that I'm sharing today. I've not come across Yasuaki before b
Peter Shire: Cups 1974 – 2012 by Eric Minh Swenson
The good folks at South Willard put me onto this fantastic video based on Los Angeles based artist Peter Shire. Funnily enough last week I was actually browsing Peter’s website and it struck me how playful and comedic his work is, it’s great to know that he doesn’t take life too seriously and
Set of Imagery from Renilde Depeuter
I felt I was well overdue a return to a set of photography so I've pieced together this selection from Renilde Depeuter who many of you may remember for her stunning mobiles we covered on the blog back in February. Initially I was just browsing around enjoying Renilde's photostream over on Flickr an
Ceramic Works by Kirstie Van Noort
Previously Daniel put together a nice concise post on Eindhoven based designer Kirstie Van Noort in the latter part of 2011. Today I decided to explore her works again after my amazement at her ceramic bowls, cups and other items, particularly the selection that she’s produced over the last few mo
Collection of Works from Regis Brodie
I thought I'd stick with craft again after sharing wood turner Jonathan Leech with you all last time around. Today I was impressed with the multifaceted nature of creative Regis Brodie's work, so I've brought across a selection as a nod of appreciation to the Pittsburgh based artist, potter, sculpto
