the porcelain products produced by yumiko iihoshi have me all sorts of excited this morning. as i sit here and drink my tea i can’t help but imagine i’m using one of these cups instead of my own. these three tea cups come from a series called un jour or one day, and the sizes and shapes in the cups change to fit the mood of different times of the day.

the bon voyage  series of work is emphasized on portable porcelain, intended to be taken on travel. i love that concept!

her handmade objects aren’t overly stylized or crafted – they are simple, and photographed in the perfect setting of light and airy atmosphere.

i have seen a lot of molly hatch‘s work, and it rarely disappoints. her current works are really making me happy. hand-painted dinner plates make up this large scale wall painting, replicating old pen and ink drawings. my eyes keep going back and forth between whats painted on the plates and the space between them. so very lovely.

i’ll be honest, i’m not sure that i can say this artist’s name. but her work is absolutely stunning! i’m so glad i fell upon ceramics now magazine. a project created by young artists and students from Cluj-Napoca, Romania highlighting contemporary ceramic art and artists. it is an impressive and well-designed publication, so its no surprise that i fell in love with their showcase of Hafsteinsdóttir’s beautiful work.

ok, so i told you all about how i love those colorful faceted bowls from golden ink. now its time to tell you my love for this porcelain jewelry. the collaboration between abby seymour and katherine wheeler is really inspiring. i love hearing about artists collaborating, and i love to do it!
