Sculptural Vessels by Keith Varney
Keith Varney makes these objects at his studio in Somerset.It's obvious to see that both line and texture are an inspiration, also the way in which these elements interact with light and shade.
Lithic by Yasha Butler
The concept is linked to timeless forms as if they've been buried for generations, archaic vessels waiting to be found. I like this idea as it takes an approach and shapes the aesthetic goal around it, which is a new way of making altogether.
Handthrown Stoneware by Kazakes Ceramics

Kim Emanuel, The Soap Man of San Francisco
