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
Porcelain Creations by Nathalie Derouet
A set of astonishing creations by French artist Nathalie Dérouet. I'm not one to bring across many artistic works, as I'm quite a functional individual and don't admire a gallery setting for a number of reasons, but often I find myself taking inspiration from forms in this category (even if it be f
Golden Arber Sculpture by Harry Bertoia at the 510 Fifth Ave Building

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
Khoi Vinh, On the Grid
I've been studying the grid for quite a while now, at first I thought it was just relative to the web design field but as time's gone by I've found it's taken on a role not only in my design self but also in my lifestyle choices. Whether it be art, ceramics, film, or even clothing, I'm intrigued to
