Ceramic Inspiration- Hella Jongerius

pics from ceramics art daily

Hella Jongerius designs everything. She has a what seems to be a very (very) mixed media exhibit going on right now at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. The exhibit is organized by color, very much how I have organized AC's 80 million books along our shelves.

She has an eye for imperfection in the the most perfect way. The exhibit is aptly named Misfit.
Below are 2 works of hers I love from way back in 2004.

Oh Chair part 2

pic from johnhoushmand.com

This chair is just beautfiul. It is made by John Houshmand on a farm in upstate New York. Words of wisdom regarding his craft:
We allow grains to spill. We love crumbling bark. We welcome wormholes.

Me Too, John & Company!

I am loving these created by William Dohman in his wkd studios etsy shop.

oh chair...

aka chair, you are so nice.

I'm prepping for the flea.

working with real wood

It has been so hard to make the studio a priority with so much "life" happening. AC and I had to do something we felt we could have control of though... we designed and built planters!! The planters are like my littel terrariums but much bigger. Given that we have a Brooklyn brownstone (pretty shady) backyard, we are experimetning with plants to see what grows best. Mandevilla vine is a sure bet, but we'll see how the cucmbers and squash do! Our little concrete desert backyard is greening up nicely.

I must now make time for the birdfeeder sitting half done and neglected in the ceramic studio.
