Functional Ceramics by Daisuke Kameta
Maybe we've gone a bit pottery made over here?! It seems like it's taken the reigns slightly and has grabbed hold of us, although to be fair I do feel like we're doing a pretty good job at keeping the blog well balanced and unique. Especially this week with Daniel including some nice culture type f
Sara Flynn Exhibition at Erskine, Hall & Coe
I thought we'd return with a little update on Erskine, Hall and Coe today as they run a great deal of exhibitions that are well worth making a trip to see. They introduced me previously to the work of Mexican artist Gustavo Perez, which I highlighted to a few of you here, and today I was pleased to
Bamboo Art by Hajime Nakatomi
I spent a little time this morning researching bamboo art and its origins, as expected I discovered some amazing facts and learnt quite a lot on the subject. This art reminds me of architecture in a lot of ways, but just at a much much smaller scale. Structurally it's absolutely brilliant and there'
Series of Ceramics by Mary Kay Botkins
I thought I'd come through with a little ceramic work this afternoon to compliment what we've already curated so far this week. So once again I scoured around the various creative networks to see what I could come up with and I landed upon the page of Mary Kay Botkins, who I have to admit I'm not al
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
Ceramics by James and Tilla Waters
I thought I'd highlight a series of ceramics from a little closer to home today as I've brought across the work of husband and wife team James and Tilla Waters who run their own studio from an isolated farm in Mid Wales. Given we are fascinated by a minimal outlook when it comes to functional ware i
Selection of Imagery from Carlie Armstrong
After highlighting Jennifer Causey and her Brooklyn Makers book the other day I came across another photographer that's passionate about sharing some American creativity. Tonight I thought I'd give her work a showcase here because I'm a big fan of what she's trying to do with her own project and fel
Lifestyle and Product Imagery at Kitanosumaisekkeisha
We're regularly on the lookout for inspiring photography and lifestyle imagery, it's definitely a good reference for us in the shop since it gives us ideas and tips for our own, it's also refreshing to see how objects could be used in different environments. Take for example this shop in Japan that
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
Mogu-Kagu Wood Furnishings & Design
I hope you'll excuse the influx of Japanese designers that have shown up on the blog lately, it wasn't intentional. When you own quite a personal blog like ours you have to go with the flow and pick out what's inspiring you at that moment in time, but it's quite apparent that a lot of good work is c
Creative Imagery from Potter Yoshiyuki Shimizu
I love seeing imagery of creatives and artists at work, so when I stumbled across this fantastic looking set featuring Japanese potter Yoshiyuki Shimizu I had to pull it over for all of you to enjoy. Wonderful originality in the photography and I think all these of these do a great job at conveying
Flow Gallery – The Spirit Of Things
When we aren't working or creating it's great to get ourselves out the office and take some influence from others through the medium of gallery exhibitions. The Flow gallery in Notting Hill, London which is owned by Yvonna Demczynska has been running a fantastic showcase recently titled the spirt of
