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
Documentary on Potter Lisa Hammond
Before you begin this fine week with us I think you better put the kettle on and get comfortable as Goldmark have put together another of their awe inspiring documentaries following the work of a potter in the lead up to their latest exhibition. Today the creative we get introduced to is another Eng
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
Short Film on Wood Turner Liam Flynn
It never ceases to amaze me online how one thing can lead to another, like a subconscious thread connecting everything together. Recently we've enjoyed learning more about Japanese craft and wooden objects in particular, the way in which many of these independents emphasise the qualities of the mate
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
Short Film on Sculptor Paula Winokur
We are consciously trying not to let ceramics and pottery take over, with an abundance of this type of content floating around the web currently it's a very precise balancing act to maintain. Something that doesn't come along every day however is an insightful short film that investigates the style
Lacquerware by Toshio Fukuda
Here are some beautiful objects made by Toshio Fukuda, a lacquerware artist out of Japan. It looks like he's got an amazing eye for simplistic form in general, as with most Japanese creatives, and has been able to create some astonishing shapes that are both functional and very natural looking. This
Studio Imagery from Siemon & Salazar
I don't mean to come across as somebody who's always complaining, or a snob for that matter, but I often find myself disappointed when searching the shelves of mainstream shops. I appreciate the concept of appealing to a larger market but in doing so it feels like we are losing touch with objects th
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
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
