Artists and Works at Katakuchi-Ya
Easy breezy on the ceramics front, I've been holding onto a stack of artists and creatives that I wanted to highlight over the next coming weeks. This specific site and work that I'm highlighting today could have given me many options but I decided that since I've got quite a variety on the go I'd s
Collection of Ceramics by Olen Hsu
After a good couple of hours learning on the wheel myself last night I've got a lot of admiration for todays entry into our daily content, American creative Olen Hsu who's somewhat of a master of the art. His works embody a subtle quietness of form which are given a gentle measure of personality in
Yoshiyuki Kato’s Woodworks
It's not always always an easy job finding new and interesting creatives to talk about, a lot of the time you stumble across the same individuals that are doing great things. One place I've always been fascinated by is Japan and Japanese culture, mainly their way of life and also their simplicity in
Series of Antiques and Oddities from Factory 20
I've always been somebody that asks questions, who likes to wonder why things have been made the way they have, so naturally I'm drawn to items that embrace an unconventional aesthetic. Which is why I was in my element this morning when I stumbled upon the ridiculously large archive of design object
Ceramics by Christian Escajadillo
I'm not sure we've covered an individual from Peru before but that's one of reasons I love using the platform we have, each day is a new lesson based upon the research of so many diverse, inspiring individuals. Christian Escajadillo is a ceramist I'd not crossed paths with before but his selection o
Archive Imagery from the Hadeland Glassverk Factory
Putting together yesterday's post on Andrew Geller and getting my hands on the vintage photographs was really exciting for me, it's perhaps my favourite post I've put together here. So whilst I was in the process of compiling this I started thinking to myself, there must be so many archives out ther
Short Film on Eames Chair Creation
I'm not going to lie, today has been somewhat of a frustrating uphill battle in the content department, we've found ourselves stockpiled with certain subjects and thin on the ground with others. Thankfully though I came across this great image of Ray Eames creating a selection of chairs that reminde
Workroom, A Family Project
I found this great little project today that I’ve not come across before titled Workroom that’s run by father and daughter team Rebecca and Douglas Snelling. This concept reminds me of Nikole Herriott who also collaborates with her father Lance, they started a quaint little company a while back
Wooden and Bone Cutlery by Kirsten Hecktermann
For a while I've been admiring the works of designer Kirsten Hecktermann and today seems like the perfect time to take an in-depth view into the objects and how/where they've been made. Kirsten is actually a textile artist, designer, and stylist based in the UK, but this cutlery showcased in this ar
Ceramic Sculptures by Eva Hild
Over the last couple of months sculpture seems to have really got a hold on me, I've been constantly floating around to see what I can find online, and have been somewhat taken by the idea that an object can challenge conventional ways of thinking just through an abstract form. Which was why I was d
Imagery from Alison Berger Glassworks
I thought I'd bring a little craft into the fold today as we've both been pursuing our own creative projects recently and I was hugely inspired by the work of Alison Berger and the skill she has developed in making handblown glass. Based in Los Angles, Alison's professional background was initially
Kay Bojesen, Craft Designer
Kay Bojesen, a bit of a legend to say the least. He's been on my radar for a little while now and I've been studying this Danish designer to see what I could find on him and his work. It's always great to find out new information and Kay is actually tied to the design scene in more than one way. Bor
