Inside the Studio of Japanese Potter Takeryo Kawaguchi
Today I've come across another special little feature that really grabbed my attention, it's an inside look at the studio of Japanese potter Takeryo Kawaguchi. He makes some incredible pieces like bowls, cups and tea pots so it's great to see the process and the environment that he creates in. He wa
Pottery by Takuji Hayashi
As my Japanese creative showcase slowly dwindles I'm left with a mixed batch of feelings, one being attached to the amount of amazing individuals working in different creative arts in Japan, the other relating to the disappointment across this side of the pond in terms of variety. It becomes pretty
Cups 2009 – 2012 by Stefan Andersson
Coming across Stefan Andersson's work today was deeply inspiring, the Swedish artist has an exceptional eye and has created some intriguing objects in his time. Most notably this new catalogue from a solo exhibition currently taking place in Malmö, Sweden. It's titled 'Cups 2009-2012' and features
Ceramic Work by Keiichi Tanaka and Aya Omachi
I've been meaning to write a little piece about these great objects, but firstly I had a problem with the image sizes and secondly we've had so many ceramics on the blog it's been hard not to saturate the schedule with the same sort of thing again and again. So I've held off just a little while, but
Wall Reliefs and Figures by Joy Brown
I was pretty blown away by these wall reliefs and figures that I found this morning, I've been spending quite a bit of time in the pottery studio and it's become more and more apparent how hard it is to create sculptures out of clay. Although the material itself is quite durable, with it being easy
Taro Tabuchi, Wood-Fired Kiln Porcelain
This is possibly the first time this year that I've come across a selection of imagery from an artist that's just too vast. It's that expansive that the 15 images I placed here in my opinion are nowhere near enough to represent the message that I want to convey, but I guess you've got to work with w
Phil Elson, Hand Thrown Porcelain Tableware
Ceramics has been high up on our list of inspiring subjects lately, although I'm partial to all aspects of the field I seem to be pulled towards porcelain as a material for some reason or another. I think it's because I like the transparency and the simplicity, it's quite clean and precise which pro
Ceramics by Lilith Rockett
I’m not sure how we’ve not posted up Lilith Rockett’s work before, I’ve come across many ceramicists over the years, albeit each one having a slightly different flavour, but I’ve never seen such a complete collection as Lilith’s. She works primarily in porcelain which seems to be a massi
Akiko’s Pottery
Finding beautiful objects isn't always an easy task, usually the best stuff is hiding away somewhere unusual, but I have to admit it's nice when things just seem to fall into your lap. Luckily last night I came across this fantastic web store named Totokaelo, they're actually a shop that I've seen a
Manos, Pottery Studio by Oscar Liedgren
This post is a case of one project leading to another as we return to talented Swedish filmmaker Oscar Liegren and his latest short film which features Potter Karin Eriksson in her studio. Many of you enjoyed Oscar’s previous piece we shared on Kiki, the Japanese design store in Stockholm, so I de
Ceramics and Stoneware by Matthias Kaiser
I've known and cooperated with Matthias Kaiser for quite a while now, he's a great guy with a unique talent. If you haven't seen his works before Matthias makes porcelain objects such as vases and bowls, he also produces stoneware items like teapots and plates, sometimes you may even see him dabble
Sweden’s Master Potter, Berndt Friberg
It's been a little while since I've found some pottery that's really inspired me, this morning though I was lucky enough to stumble across Swedish artist Berndt Friberg. He had a few nicknames in his time but he was usually called "Hand of God" amongst other potters and his circle of friends, he was
