Finishing with Potter Koichi Ohara
Currently I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the potters wheel, as the studio we attend locally is closed while the owner takes a well deserved holiday. Although I can't actually get involved myself for a few weeks I've been enjoying watching others undertake the process earlier today, so hop
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
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 Sunset Craftsmanship Co
Outside of Japan these bags are really hard to get your hands on, which is a bit of a shame because here we get to see a video which showcases lots of love and attention to detail as each individual bag gets put together. I'll have to hold my hands up and admit I've not seen too much else from Sunse
Elephant Ceramics, Brooklyn, NY Photographed by Jennifer Causey
I found this gem of a series today which is part of The Makers Project by Jennifer Causey, a photographer that’s been on my watch list for quite sometime now. We actually wrote a post on the project a while back but I thought this particular one was definitely worth pointing out as we visit the st

The good folks over at Made by Hand have been out creating again, bringing us their second short film tonight which involves Joel Bukiewicz a Knife Maker based in Brooklyn.

Power of Making by Victoria and Albert Museum
Since words like craftsmanship, tradition, handmade and skill are thrown around a lot in this day and age, the Victoria and Albert Museum decided to investigate what all of this actually means. The exhibition 'Power of Making' is presenting a selection of more than 100 crafted objects by amateurs an
Furniture by Jason Lewis
Chicago-based designer/maker Jason Lewis creates these beautiful pieces of furniture in his studio, which includes seating, tables, storage units, and other customs items. From what I've read up Jason worked as an apprentice to Bauhaus guru Berthold Schwaiger, who's an award-winning furniture master
Joe White, Guitar Maker by Philip James
We love seeing objects being made, I think there's something quite enticing about seeing block materials transformed into a new form, particularly if it's wooden. Joe White who is based in Aldershot here in England humbly works with wood each day crafting bespoke handmade guitars, that really are a
Made by Hand Film Series Teaser
I found this new teaser for a project starting soon titled Made by Hand, a short film series that looks to celebrate the people who make things by hand - sustainably, locally, and with a love for their craft. This trailer found below showcases Breuckelen Distilling, an artisan distillery located in
