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
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.

Sweden’s Master Potter, Berndt Friberg
It's been a little while since I've found some pottery that's really inspired me, this morning though I was lucky enough to stumble across Swedish artist Berndt Friberg.

Short Film on Archer by Dylan Ryan Byrne

Short Film on “The Chair” by PP Mobler
I've been sitting on this project for a while now so I have apologise somewhat, as I'm sure many of you are eager to see PP Mobler putting together Hans J Wegner's design of "The Chair". I've been debating with myself whether the film quality was on a par with everything else we've previously share
Kenji Fujita for Freeman Lederman Ceramic Coffee Pot/Pitcher
I’m not really one for sharing a single product or object but I thought today I’d break that mould and focus in on a rare modernist coffee pitcher that caught my eye over on Pintrest. It’s been designed by Japanese ceramist Kenji Fujita for American Studio Freeman Lederman back in the 50?s and
Starling Chair by Cameron Foggo
This is my second post on an item of furniture this week, hopefully we won’t go five days straight with a chair everyday, although if we have seating options like this I won’t be complaining and hopefully you won’t either. The chair that I’ve picked out today is titled the Starling Chair and
