Functional Silverware by Jacqueline Scholes

Handmade Cutlery by Rieko Fujimoto at OEN Shop
Japanese metal worker Rieko Fujimoto for example is one that really struck a chord with me. When I first discovered her works I was fascinated by her unique style, also her pursuit of making objects for everyday use.
