Short Film on Yoshi Masuda by Mackenzie Sheppard
For a little while now I have been patiently waiting for the arrival of this short film, as the teaser has sat in our archives and I have passed email back and forth with Mackenzie the filmmaker. This isn't a criticism by the way, I know these things take time and in my humble opinion this film has
Joseph Foglia Designs Studio
I came across this terrific design studio named Joseph Foglia Designs that offers a wide array of design and construction solutions, mainly focusing on commercial and residential renovations within New York City. From what I picked up their work is based around the overall concept, the fabrication a
Short Film on Bluesville’s Dying Process
What I love most about the internet is how far reaching and open it is, you can learn so much from so many different individuals around the globe. Take this short film for example, it documents the creation process of a brand over in Indonesia called Bluesville who still cut and make everything by h
Series of Imagery from Herriott Grace
Yesterday we brought you a little article of craftsmanship from the past and this morning I thought we’d visit something more recent, yet just as inspiring with this series from Herriot Grace. As you may have worked out from the above imagery the venture is founded upon the close relationship of f
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

I felt today would be a good time to visit the work of James Blain Blunk or J.B Blunk as he was affectionately known whilst alive, as I’m keen to keep a little craftsmanship flowing through our format. I was casually taking a read through his dedicated webpage this morning and I was lucky enough t
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
Objects of Empathy by Miya Kondo
A little while back I consciously decided to take my foot off the gas on the ceramics front, in view of keeping our content diverse. However the craft element of pottery has continued to inspire me daily, especially some particular pieces which embody the design ethos often found in Scandinavia and
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
Works by Irish Furniture Designer Joseph Walsh
I've decided to bring across something a little more contemporary than what we've regularly been looking at here on the site, as I was really taken aback by the shire craftsmanship and vision that furniture designer Joseph Walsh presents through his creations. Founding his studio in 1999 Joseph has
Imagery of Hans J. Wegner & his creations
Not too long ago Mark brought across some really beautiful looks at the work of internationally celebrated Dane Hans J Wegner, so I thought it would be a little while yet until we’d be visiting his work again. However I was browsing through a few of my favourite destinations on the web earlier and
Bespoke Lighting by The Lindsey Adelman Studio
I really enjoyed watching the process that Bocci undertook in creating their wonderful bespoke lights last week, so I went on the hunt for a little more handcrafted glassware this morning with my eventual destination being the Lindsey Adelman Studio in New York. After taking a short while to browse
