Series of Imagery from Herriott Grace

Short Film on Viola Maker Nicholas Frirsz
It’s always compelling to be able to share not only a beautiful creation with you, our readers, but a history and a heritage too. Which is why I’m rather eager to showcase the story of Nicholas Frirsz who’s a fifth generation luthier, someone who makes or repairs lutes and other string instrum
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
Works by Irish Furniture Designer Joseph Walsh

Short Film on Blacksmith Joe Elliot
Not too long ago Mark brought us a great little film from American boot maker Danner and today we are heading back their way for another short film about a blacksmith named Joe Elliot. It seems pretty logical for Danner to profile the work of Joe in this way, as both of their products are immersed i

Machine by Matthew Harrington
We see a collaboration of Matthew's in this short film as director Matt Harrington linked up with craftsman Matt Machine to showcase one beautiful custom motorcycle, put together by hand.
