Short Film on Chifuyu Enomoto
I felt a little guilty for missing out on the second instalment of the Made in Brooklyn series this morning, so I've been on the hunt for a film this evening as a means to make amends. Given we don't like to regurgitate content here I felt it was best to wait and see what else was around, so with th
Dustin Cohen Photographs Watchmaker David Sokosh
I had planned to bring across the latest development in Dustin Cohen’s Made in Brooklyn film series, but since this has already broke elsewhere I thought we’d focus in on a little of his photography instead. Many of you may remember the first episode which followed violin maker Sam Zygmuntowicz,
Introducing Olli Salumeria
Keith Ehrlich, the man behind the Made by Hand film series, provides us all with further inspiring content whilst introducing a fourth generation Salumi Maker in the process. Working under another of his aliases “The Bureau of Common Goods“, Keith investigates all things Olli Salumeria which was
Short Film on Gustavo Perez
It’s almost two weeks to the day now that I brought across the collection of Mexican ceramic artist Gustavo Perez so it was quite a welcome coincidence to see him pop up again today in this delightful short film. The last piece I posted on Gustavo was centred around the exhibition currently taking
A look Inside the Sukima Studio
I'll be honest here and admit I don't know an awful lot about the Sukima Studio in Denmark, but I enjoyed these photos of their working space all the same so I've brought them across as a little nod of appreciation to their craft. What I do know is that their small team dedicates itself to creating
Yata Stool by Naoki Hirakoso
It's hard for us to stay out of Japan with our content, we do try but when you have an eye for a minimal aesthetic it makes life difficult, Japanese designers simply are on another level in this regard. Not to discredit the great talent found in Europe and the Americas, but when you come across obje
Short Film on Sculptor Lance Dooley
Late last night I really enjoyed watching this filmed piece which introduces American artist and sculptor Lance Dooley, so I promised myself that come the morning I would return to it and share this with everyone here. The artist himself is somewhat of a traveller and you can tell this has had a mas
Porcelain by Taizo Kuroda
My mind is always brought to debate when I see Japanese ceramics and pottery as I’m often baffled by their ability to craft something that is equally clean and pure as it is rich in substance and character. Perhaps it’s the Japanese’s inherent connection to perfecting each process which brings
Ceramics by Gustavo Perez
We are strong believers that craft and design are inherently linked, which is why ceramics are just a present a feature as architecture or clothing within our daily content. In fact recently I think myself and Mark have become a little fanatic about seeing the creation process, but today I thought w
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
Short Film on Traditional Craftsman John Neeman
I think in our generation many of us have never seen a professional blacksmith at work, the way of modern life doesn't dictate the need for hand crafted tools, time has simply moved on. This being said, especially in our own archive this lack of need for this trade has become a want, because seeing
