Shiny New Blog and New Molly Hatch Exhibition

Time for a change I reckon. Hope you like the looks of things around here. I was in the mood for something a bit brighter and cleaner. Looks like Blogger might have a few hiccups in the new design template and I’ll try to get that sorted asap.

In the meantime check out the amazing new work by Molly Hatch on exhibition at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia. View the show online here.


And check out the blurb about it on Design Sponge here.

PROTOtype symposium windup


Way back in February (see original post here) I posted about an upcoming symposium on the idea of the Prototype (PROTOtype: Craft it the future tense) co-convened by the Victoria and Albert Museum and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design at the University of Dundee. Well the symposium has just winded down and thanks again to the wonder of the internet those of us that we’re able to make it in person can check out a bit about the events and talks on the CRAFT RESEARCH Blog.

Looks like yet another amazing symposium challenging contemporary notions of craft research and boundaries between different creative industries.

Can’t hardly wait…Medalta is calling…

It’s no secret that I’m dying to get to Medalta in July for a month at their amazing residency facility. I’m barely keeping focused on all the work I need to get finished before I can pack up to go, as I’m so excited. I’ve been storing up ideas for new figurative work to sink my teeth into and I’m looking forward to truly having the time again (sans 2 yr old) to do some crafty arty thinking and producing.

And it’s not helping my impatience to be hearing tidbits here and there through the blog, twitter and facebook sphere from the folks that are there right now in the midst of an amazing residency with the incredible Robin Dupont.

I’m drooling over the pics that the lovely Rose Bauer has been posting on her blog Skiing in the dark. Rose not only makes amazing work (one of my most favorite cereal bowls of all time) but she is a true tease to me this month : ) ….my turn will come…
