Garance Dore Photographs Russel Wright’s Home
After sharing the work of the late great sculptor Constantin Brancusi yesterday I felt compelled to search out another master if you will that is no longer with us. Given we've featured a good number of names that the history books won't let us forget, I found myself searching over a few that we'd v
Introduction to Sculptor Michael Coffey by Bespoke Global
This was a real treat of a find today, and I was quite lucky to stumble across it in all honesty. I was taking my usual travels to come across something unique/different that I could showcase and I had remembered I was going to research sculptor Michael Coffey but never got around to it after seeing
Olga Bennet Photographs Kim Mckechnie’s Studio
Another great week begins and with it I thought we'd make a return trip to view the progressive portfolio of Australian photographer Olga Bennet. As many will hopefully know Olga is someone who's work we have admired here in the past and it's been brilliant to watch her talents flourish and mature o
Ceramics by Jill Shaddock
It’s amazing to see such style and simplicity in makers situated on our own turf, unfortunately it’s not something that we come across here on a regular basis, but these works made by Manchester based Jill Shaddock are very eye pleasing indeed. I originally came across her works on the Snug webs
Short Film on Harrison McIntosh
Film has been our main weapon of choice over the past few days so I'm going to continue on this note and introduce you all to another captivating character named Harrison McIntosh. Perhaps that's a little ignorant of me, the fact is many of you may of come across this individuals work previously as
Short Film on Tobias Petri by Freunde von Freunden
As times passed and the Freunde von Freunden collective has developed it's been a big inspiration to take in all the multi-talented individuals that they've interviewed the world over. When the project first began they didn't have the opportunity to branch out of Germany all too often, so when you s
Irving Harper: “Paper is a versatile medium” by Herman Miller
Wow, I came across this amazing video earlier today and I've been been itching to write a piece on it. Interestingly the subject is designer Irving Harper who's someone that I was searching up about a few months back, specifically looking for imagery of his paper sculptures (what a coincidence). Her
Short Film on Woodturner Robin Wood
It's not everyday that we are lucky enough to come across a film documenting a maker perfecting their craft, but today I'm excited to highlight the work of woodturner and artisan Robin Wood who is based in Peak District, England. Robin is in fact quite a specialist individual, according to his word
Wooden Sculpture by Ben Butler
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the patterns that naturally emerge here on the platform, we often go through periods of focusing on one material making it easy to get overstocked in that specific department. Recently we seem to have kept the balance just right, but not too long ago cerami
The Art of Steam Bending by David Trubridge
We turn our attention now to David Trubridge, one of New Zeland's most iconic and innovative furniture designers in an engaging short film I enjoyed watching earlier this morning. Created as a means to document the process behind one of the designers creations we are taken inside the company worksho
Series of Sculptures by Antony Gormley
I'd like to start my content for the week with the fantastic work of English sculptor Antony Gormley who has been working in the field now for almost 40 years. Browsing over his personal website you can just see the dedication he has for his craft, with such an expansive collection of sculptures I w
Le Corbusier in The Art of Architecture
If in doubt it's always wise to return to those tried, tested and accomplished I've always found, so with this in mind I'd like to turn everyones attention to one of the most marvellous modernist minds, yes you guessed it, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret or as he's more affectionately known Le Corbusier.
