I’ve been a huge fan of Jenn Demke-Lange’s work since I first met her at Medalta. She has such a lovely playful unique style merging design and clay. This video gives a bit of a sneek peak into her inspiration and process, but to check out the pots themselves make sure to visit her website MIKIND.

The Big Idea from Medalta on Vimeo.
Aaron is currently working with experimental, highly translucent soft paste porcelain that matures at an extremely low temperature. His interest in this new material, for which there are few historical precedents, grows out of a concern for the environment and reducing the carbon footprint of his practice.
At the same time, he has become interested in contemporary communications technologies – QR Codes in particular. He is experimenting with the merging of ceramic art with these new forms of communication.
This is Aaron’s latest Big Idea. We hope you enjoy it.
