In love with Yasuko Oseki's Pottery! She started out as an interior designer, but soon found her calling, obviously! The etchings and textures are exquisite. The shapes and scale of the pieces are simply perfect.

Yasuko Oseki, Pottery Inspiration #8
In love with Yasuko Oseki's Pottery! She started out as an interior designer, but soon found her calling, obviously! The etchings and textures are exquisite. The shapes and scale of the pieces are simply perfect.
Fired...Forgotten...My Favorite!
Oh so sad! I forgot to include this pot/vase in my post a couple days ago. It was sitting on a table with flowers in it, so I left it out. This is my favorite piece I've done so far. It's been 9 weeks since my first pottery class, and I'm gradually making larger and more complex shapes as the days go by. I'll keep you posted on my new found love of pottery making.
Just Fired!
My very first pieces just out of the kiln. Pottery is such a long process, but I think I've found a new love...
Julian Stair, Pottery inspiration #5
I have now made 8 bowls/vessels in pottery. Yesterday, I failed at creating a vase, I guess the clay was too wet, and I was too excited. Throwing takes a huge amount of patience, breathing, and focus. Tomorrow I go in on studio day to attempt my vase again. I'm addicted and it's all I think about these days! I just want to make pottery. Another inspiration is Julian Stair. As you can see his pieces are simplistic, and modern. I adore.
Lucie Rie, Pottery Inspiration #4
As I move forward with my pottery classes, I continue to study the greats. Above, Lucie Rie pieces. These are from the mid 1900's to the late 1900's.
Koike Shoko, Pottery Inspiration #3
When I was at the Arts and Antique show a couple weeks ago I discovered a wonderful gallery called Dai Ichi Arts here in NYC which specializes in Chinese and Japanese ceramics. One particular artist from the gallery that caught my interest was Koike Shoko. Her work (above) is so Kerut Home. The organic shapes and textural surfaces look like something you would find from the sea.
Axel Salto...Volcanic, Pottery Inspiration #2
I started my pottery classes yesterday on a brisk fall afternoon here in NYC! I threw my first coffee mug, well, it was suppose to be I guess, but it turned into a bowl. Once I glaze it I'll photograph it and post it on the blog. As I continue my course some of my posts will be geared toward potters that I'm pulling inspiration from, and pieces I find to be beautiful. The above works are by Axel Salto, the Danish Midcentury potter. I love that David Revere McFadden, chief curator of the Museum of Arts and Design in NYC, describes his work as "wonderfully rich, gutsy shapes that look like they came off the side of a volcano." He is so right. This is why I like his pieces so much. Very earthly and organic.
