Series of Sculptures by Pamela Sunday
At the turn of the year I thought I’d come through with a selection of sculptures to compliment our recent interview with American artist Patrick Dougherty. I’ve strayed away from wood however and put together a series of imagery from another American creative, the lady in question being Pamela
Damascus Steel Knife Making by John Neeman
I thought I'd bring another familiar face back into the fold today as we revisit the work of traditional craftsman John Needman and his "Birth of a Tool" film series, which documents one of his tools being lovingly put together by hand. Previously I'd brought across the first instalment of the proje
Short Film Introducing Beam & Anchor
As we pass through a period of good will and spirit, I wanted to showcase a short film I came across this morning that shares the story of a company that's based around this very same community feel. Once again we are heading over to the creative hub that is Portland, Oregan as Matt Pierce introduce
Wood Turned Vessels by Andy DiPietro
I've not highlighted a woodturner for a little while, and it's a technique I'm really fascinated by, so I've been on the hunt this morning to see what I can find in this area. Pennsylvania seems to be a real playground for individuals working in the medium of wood, so it was of little surprise to me
Collecting Lacquer with Kenji Suzuki
It's not often that I bring films into the archive, Daniel tends to have a knack for finding the best on the web in the fields of art, design and craft. But today I came across this short piece that doesn't have any commentary, but has very simple filming and features some curious ongoings. In fact,
Ceramics by Kai Jun Asai
We are quickly running out of fresh excuses for our obsession with Japanese craft and design, however I've been admiring another creative from that neck of the woods today so I thought I'd stay true to tradition and highlight the work of potter Kai Jun Asai in today's post. I came across his work vi
Short film on Sarah and John Burrows of Wood Design
As the evening draws in I thought I'd bring across this short film that shares the story of Sarah and John Burrows, who run a website I've been enjoying on a daily basis for quite a number of months now. Wood Design, if you've not come across it before, offers a selection of handcrafted furniture fr
Short Film on Japanese Potter Koichi Ohara
The sensibilities of Japanese craft and design have been a constant influence on the work we do here and the projects we like to highlight, so I’m sure it wasn’t a surprise when we introduced Rieko Fujimoto into the shop at the tail end of last week. We are constantly making connections in this
Handmade Lights by Lam Quang and Kestrel Gates
I think an overriding sense of what we are striving to create here is a space where alternate ideas, concepts and ultimately products in our online shop can be shared and supported. So with this in mind, I became fond of the project of Lam Quang and Kestrel Gates this morning who run their own littl
Sara Flynn Exhibition at Erskine, Hall & Coe
I thought we'd return with a little update on Erskine, Hall and Coe today as they run a great deal of exhibitions that are well worth making a trip to see. They introduced me previously to the work of Mexican artist Gustavo Perez, which I highlighted to a few of you here, and today I was pleased to
Series of Ceramics by Mary Kay Botkins
I thought I'd come through with a little ceramic work this afternoon to compliment what we've already curated so far this week. So once again I scoured around the various creative networks to see what I could come up with and I landed upon the page of Mary Kay Botkins, who I have to admit I'm not al
Short Film on Wire Sculptor Rodger Stevens
It feels great to return to an artist, creative or craftsman and offer them a little further coverage, given many of these independents are on quite a personal journey with their work, it’s interesting to see what makes each one tick. I thought today we’d revisit the work of New York based Rodge
