Porcelain Tableware and Wall Installations by Basma Osama
Recently, I have been considering the world of ceramics in terms of inspiration and as a personal pursuit. Being a purist, the beauty of materials in their raw, or near-raw state, is highly appealing. The endless amount of clay bodies, each with their individual characteristics, naturally lend thems
CALDER | PROUVÉ at Galerie Patrick Seguin
The good folks at Patrick Seguin recently released some imagery from their latest exhibition that started on Saturday titled 'CALDER | PROUVÉ', which will run until November 2nd, 2013. Sculptors haven't really featured here that often, but when I do pick one out they always bring something unique a
Shizuko Hasuo Ceramics Exhibition at utsuwa-KU Gallery
Today I had a craving for some natural looking pottery, I'm not sure why this came about, maybe because I've been looking at architecture and industrial products quite a lot. For some reason I always get in to a particular fascination with certain types of design, this even runs through to the thing
High-rise by Photographer Peter Bobby
Although I have more of an interest in residential architecture than commercial or business orientated builds, I have to say this recent project by photographer Peter Bobby certainly caught my attention. I guess houses excite me because you can play with the idea of function in the home, you can als
New Interview with Sculptor and Artist Rodger Stevens
Since some of you are regulars to the blog but can't always check back with the site itself, I decided to write a quick post notifying you all of a new interview/feature that went live a few days back. We got together with American artist and sculptor Rodger Stevens, who we've long been admirers of
Ceramic Works by Jennifer Lee
Pottery has been quite high on my agenda recently, I've been slowly creeping back in to the workshop so it seems like a great time to go searching around for inspiration. One thing I've found myself doing is looking at my home country for possible independents and creatives that might have the same
Beloved Pots by Swedish Potter Stefan Andersson
Our good friend, and fellow maker in the store, Stefan Andersson recently unveiled his new catalogue from his upcoming solo exhibition at Blås & Knåda in Stockholm, Sweden. Running from the 16th of March to the 10th of April, he’ll be showcasing a new collection titled ‘Beloved Pots’ that’
Lost Ceremony – Ghosts in the Workshop by Adam Marelli
I haven’t covered an exhibition in a while and I thought this specific project perfectly summed up the inspirations here on the site, actually it’s almost uncanny the parallels between the two. The project as a whole focuses on Japanese Master Craftsmen as an endangered species, and has been par
CEREMONY Tea Set by Claesson Koivisto Rune & Mjölk
Our friends at Mjölk have recently collaborated with Swedish architecture firm Claesson Koivisto Rune on a unique project. The Claesson Koivisto Rune studio was founded in Stockholm by Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune in 1995, the studio met both John and Juli Baker, founders of Mjölk,
Photographs of Maiko Okuno’s Lacquerware Exhibition
I'm not usually one to split up images like this, I prefer to keep them all landscape or at least have a mixture of the two sizes. But since it's Friday I thought I'd let myself off, also these are very tasty indeed so I knew even though they weren't that big you would still appreciate them. Sometim
Wood in Progress by Ernst Gamperl
Ernst Gamperl is a bit of a legend in the craft circles, I'm surprised we haven't talked about him before because his wooden forms are spectacular to say the least. It seems like a good time to visit his works and showcase some exciting shapes that might get you all inspired, it certainly had me int
Function Dysfunction Exhibition with Alma Allen, Ani Kasten & Adam Silverman
The function vs non-function debate is one that I regularly battle with, as a designer my urge to make things structural and quite conformative is a very natural one, I like the idea of ordering disorder. But one thing I've been trying to do lately is to step outside this mindset and be more free an
