Collection of work from Derek Weidman
In recent months I've become really fascinated by the art of wood turning and the beautiful forms that you can create. In fact I would have featured more work here from this medium but for one frustrating problem, the most accomplished turners that I've come across have been homing their craft for t
Short Film on Sunset Craftsmanship Co
Outside of Japan these bags are really hard to get your hands on, which is a bit of a shame because here we get to see a video which showcases lots of love and attention to detail as each individual bag gets put together. I'll have to hold my hands up and admit I've not seen too much else from Sunse
Documentary on Potter Svend Bayer
Acknowledging a running theme of traditional craft with the daily line up, I thought I'd introduce a documentary I recently viewed which follows the work of English Potter Svend Bayer. Given we have shared lots of ceramics and pottery in the past I felt the need to source a project that would expand
Collection of Work by Sculptor David Esterly
If I'm honest I struggled to piece together a set of David Esterly's creations in the candid style we prefer, I did however manage it with a little digging around so here we are with some wood carvings which are absolutely incredible. I think what we really need to be sharing here is a short film of
Short Film by Yuki Kokubo
I don't know if anyone else finds this but Friday always seems to be quite a reflective day for me, a chance to look back on the weeks work and reestablish where things are going for the next week ahead. So being Friday I thought I'd bring across a little documentary style film which is quite reflec
Monocle “Craftsmanship” Film
I spotted this piece last week thanks to our friends at SEH Kelly, who happen to be featured in this video below titled “Craftsmanship” which is made and produced by Monocle magazine. I instantly thought, ‘that’s going to get a lot of views’ but as the week wore on I realised that not that
Elephant Ceramics, Brooklyn, NY Photographed by Jennifer Causey
I found this gem of a series today which is part of The Makers Project by Jennifer Causey, a photographer that’s been on my watch list for quite sometime now. We actually wrote a post on the project a while back but I thought this particular one was definitely worth pointing out as we visit the st
Pottery by Watanabe Takayuki
Today we revisit some pottery, this time the works of Japanese craftsman and creative Watanabe Takayuki based in Izu, Shizuoka. We’ve talked about our love for this expressive art many times before and I guess this set inspired me thanks to photographer Nazara Lázaro who’s been taking pictures
Short Film on Viola Maker Nicholas Frirsz
It’s always compelling to be able to share not only a beautiful creation with you, our readers, but a history and a heritage too. Which is why I’m rather eager to showcase the story of Nicholas Frirsz who’s a fifth generation luthier, someone who makes or repairs lutes and other string instrum
THE SOURCE by E. Conor Hagen for Mast Brothers Chocolate
I'm sure you're probably all sick of chocolate by now after Christmas and New Year? I've still got lots left that I don't really want to consume, but it's definitely nowhere near as nice as this chocolate made by the Mast Brothers. I don't know how I missed this, since it's over two months old, but
Tajika Haruo, Ironworks
I’m always fascinated in crafts and different aspects of design, particularly those ones that are handcrafted. Japan seems to be a big influencer and has some great individuals creating fantastic work in the ceramics, furniture and metal work fields. Today I picked out Tajika Harauo ironworks, the
Bonsai by Colby Waller
Bonsai's are quite an interesting subject and have been an on and off fascination of mine for a little while , it's a shame but you never seem to hear much about them on the internet. Last night I stumbled across this video by Colby Waller about the Nation Bonsai Museum in Washington D.C. arboretum.
