Documentary on Potter Svend Bayer
Acknowledging a running theme of traditional craft with the daily line up, I thought I'd introduce a documentary I recently viewed which follows the work of English Potter Svend Bayer. Given we have shared lots of ceramics and pottery in the past I felt the need to source a project that would expand
Hedwig Bollhagen Workshops for Ceramics Photographed by Janne Peters
Today I thought I’d pick up some fantastic imagery taken by the ever so impressive German Photographer Janne Peters. Her works are very diverse in subject but she has a crisp and modern aesthetic that’s nice to see in this often cluttered world. I’m particularly fond of her neutral colour pale
Set of Ceramics by Maria Kristofersson
It's hard to grumble at a little Nordic inspiration to start the week off so I've brought across the work of Swedish creative Maria Kristofersson as I really enjoyed browsing over her ceramic collection this weekend. Maria is often noted for her rugged yet quirky creations that hold quite an individ
Short Film on Kutani Choemon Ceramics
We do tend to bombard you all with pottery here, but for this I can’t apologise as I’m about to share some again, as we visit the studio of Kutani Choemon who have been operating in Japan since 1879 would you believe. I found it really incredible that the current owner Kentaro Kamide is the four
Short Film by Yuki Kokubo
I don't know if anyone else finds this but Friday always seems to be quite a reflective day for me, a chance to look back on the weeks work and reestablish where things are going for the next week ahead. So being Friday I thought I'd bring across a little documentary style film which is quite reflec
A Selection of Pottery by Marguerite Wildenhain
I’ve become very much intrigued by the Bauhaus and how it all started, over time this has helped me discover some interesting places on the internet, one of those being a small design and art blogspot that goes by the name of MONDOBLOGO. I found a great article on there which showcased some of the
The Inspirations and Works of Potter Len Castle
Aha! Here we go again, more pottery and ceramics. This time in the form of New Zealand potter Len Castle who received a CBE for Services to Pottery and has also been awarded many merits over his lifetime for his work in the creative arts. Although he sadly passed away at the age of 86 in 2011 his wo
Superfolk Mug Feature by Makers & Brothers
Were revisiting a pottery studio again, this time thanks to a feature that the Makers and Brothers website put together. I’ve only recently come across their cracking project but it’s a retail venture developed by two brothers called Jonathan and Mark Legge. Their idea is to showcase and sell si
Pottery at EAT, New York City
It seems like we’ve gone New York mad over the last few months, everything that crops up seems to be NYC based, for example our feature with Eunice Lee of UNIS and the Project tradeshow hosted in the big apple. It’s all kicking off soon as well since our next set of features will revolve around
Pottery by Watanabe Takayuki
Today we revisit some pottery, this time the works of Japanese craftsman and creative Watanabe Takayuki based in Izu, Shizuoka. We’ve talked about our love for this expressive art many times before and I guess this set inspired me thanks to photographer Nazara Lázaro who’s been taking pictures
Yoko Ozawa Pottery
Some quirky ceramics by Melbourne based potter Yoko Ozawa. Born in Japan, Yoko caught my attention with her simplistic yet rustic style that revolves around function, each piece is quite different in it’s own little way. Rough edges here and there all add to the overall aesthetic, superb stuff if
A Look Inside MR KITLY Shop & Gallery
I’m always on the look out for fantastic photography and this selection seen above and below shot by Gavin Luke Green and Karl Scullin of the MR KITLY store in the Brunswick area of Melbourne, Australia really sets off the tone this morning. It’s a great little shop that I’ve had my eye on for
