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
Short Film on Violin Maker Sam Zygmuntowicz
We love seeing masters at work here, In terms of inspiration it's just incredible to see the passion of someone who's been doing what they love for year upon year. This would be a fitting description of Brooklyn based Violin Maker Sam Zygmuntowicz who we get to see under the microscope in this fanta
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
Minka Short Film
This project has been floating around the internet for almost a year, and it is in my eyes the most inspiring film I have seen this year. After much debate I decided that if we hadn't seen this film before, and we have been crawling the internet each day for a number of years now, chances are many o
Short Film by Mia Shimabuku
We return to a short film that investigates a little craftsmanship, or perhaps craftswomanship if there’s such a thing, as young filmmaker Mia Shimabuki takes a closer look at the work of glass blower Suzi Perret. American creative Suzi works alongside fellow glass fanatic John Gerletti as they cr
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
The Pleat Box by Xavier Manosa & Mashallah
Personally, it’s hard for me to think of anything I enjoy more than watching products being made. I just love to see each intricate process and how this shapes the final products appearance and function. So as we wind down from our busy schedule before the big release of our shop on monday, why no
Wooden Wheel Printer by Postalco
Postalco is a creative company that we've got a strong admiration for, they make some beautiful everyday objects in unison with the traditional methods which have been used in Japan for countless decades. Mark recently voiced recognition of this project on the sites dedicated facebook page, however
Superfolk Mug Feature by Makers & Brothers
Were revisiting a pottery studio again, this time thanks to a feature that the Makers and Brothers website put together. I’ve only recently come across their cracking project but it’s a retail venture developed by two brothers called Jonathan and Mark Legge. Their idea is to showcase and sell si
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
Short Film & Imagery from Made by Project New York
Today I'd just like to point everyone's attention towards a school of thought that recently gathered in New York at the Made by Project, which has been summarised for us all by president Andrew Pollard in the short film below. A number of you may recognise various names and faces that have crept qui
